The POS 408 progress pics....

Man I hear ya about NOTHING fitting! On my stroker motor, EVERYTHING had to be machined to fit! The manifold, the heads, the special valve covers, the billet front cover, All that milling adds up quick!!!

Exactly. Nothing on this thing fit out of the box. Everything had to be corrected, modded, converted, inverted, twisted, ground and thrown into the wall at least once to fit. ha!
