408 Build Thread

I like the idea of starting with a roller block, that will save a lot of money and grief too.

I would go ARP main studs and get that block line honed. You can go with bolt under oil pump on rear main or get nut machined down. Get that figured out before you line hone.

A Scat cast crank would be plenty strong for what you are doing. The cast is lighter too. Scat I-beams are light, very strong, and no clearancing of the block is needed.
