One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

Well, I finally got the 408" shortblock back and safely stowed in the garage waiting for the CNC Super Prep'd heads with additional porting and deep ported Airgap intake with a Big Gulp Throttle body and 30 lbs injectors to get put on amongst a myriad of other things to get bolted on.

I still need to pull the motor and trans out of my '68, because there are some hard parts I need to swap over to the new motor oil pan and pick-up, lifter spider, the serpentine accessories, headers and the injector rails etc.

I went with a Hughes recommended cam ground on a 110 degree lobe center with .544"Intake, .568" on the exhaust, .228 & .236 @ .050.

Any horsepower guesses on this set-up with 10.2 to 1 compression?

As you may know I 'm going to pull the motor & all out from the bottom for my first time ever, so it should be interesting. If you've followed this far, you already know I'll have to modify the crossmember a bit, make a new rear trans mount and hook up a bunch of new lines, shift & throttle pressure cables and such. I also need to measure and order a new drive shaft with 1350 yolks. I'm hoping we got the converter spacing right this time, and the initial indications look good. I'll know soon enough.
