If I may ask?
Did you send him your motor or is he building this for you?
What is the total cost all in?
I have a 360 sitting in my garage that I would like to play with on the cheap side if I can, Non Magnum
I just let IMM get a core engine and build the 408 from it. I didn't have another engine laying around and didn't want to disable my daily driver. The engine from my truck will be set to the side and possibly built into a stroker to go in my cuda.
Cost... hmmmm well I can say it's over $7k. The cost depends on what you use inside the engine. I could have saved a little by going with a cast crank instead forged. The build actually didn't need to have a forged crank but I went with it anyway. Used forged pistons as well. As you know could have saved some more by furnishing my own engine.
Call IMM Engines and get a quote on a build you have in mind. With such a good reputation on this forum I feel confident I made the right choice letting Brian build me a engine.
