my 408 build

Here's what I got 1973 360 block
set of j heads cleaned up and 2.02 valves installed.

pulled the motor today and disambled it. Hopefully the block is good. All the main bearings were in good shape and it was still stock bore.
Just need to clean it up and get it to the machine shop next week.

this is the kit I just recieved yesterday from Summit:

with the head's zero'd and with 65cc chambers I should be at 10.1 comp.

comp xs282s cam
Mopar M1 intake.
holley 3310 with a proform body
1 5/8 headers,and 2 1/2" exhaust
727 with a 3200 stall converter
3.91's with a sure grip
28" slicks


I wanted to go with a set of RHS heads I just could not afford it this year, I decided to build a good stout bottom end first.

it's going in a 71' swinger.
My goal is a good street strip car that will run in the 12's
the car weighs in around 3700 with me in it.

later on I can always go with the better heads,larger carb. and 1 3/4" headers and 3" exhaust.
