My doomed 408 build

I did this.
All Hughes parts,
Hug1129 dual springs
Hugstl6064as-8 mechanical cam
Hug5012 cool face edm lifters
Gasket set
8 qts of their break in oil.
And hug5679 pushrod kit

Total shipped 1057.71

Ouch.

FWIW, only cam to ever flatten a lobe on me was Hughes camshaft.

I would never recommend anything made or designed by Dave Hughes.

Best of luck.
