408 Build Thread

Sorry, it was Pat who I met the other day. So I guess he is the owner?!? He gave us a full tour of the shop yesterday, showing us each machine and explaining to my son what it does, and why we're doing it. Very cool guy.

They will be starting on the block first thing Monday. They are going to tank it, measure it and then magnaflux it to make sure we are starting with a good block.

I emailed them a parts list complete with prices earlier in the week. They are going to meet or beat Summit's prices and that will give them a chance to put a little extra coin in their pocket. They are going to buy the Scat forged rotating assembly from their supplier and then add the bearings and rings that they like to use.

Doc hasn't had a chance to look into the Lunati Voodoo 60413 cam that I want to use. But he promised he would check into it. He did say that he likes to use Comp Cam products, but I told him I would prefer to not use them if possible. He was cool with that. He is convinced that he can still get the RHS LA-X heads from his supplier so that we don't have to go through Indy. We shall see.
