Blueprint crate 408 long block- combos?

Johnny Mac’s recommendations for distributor and pump will work fine. I just would look into getting a 10 degree bushing for the mechanical advance for the distributor. It will idle better. The carb will be a touch small but will provide good throttle response. I’m pretty sure that the advertised compression ratio is for zero deck, which I would guess is not the case, the pistons are probably still in the hole a bit. No biggie, my dressed 408 is from 2008-09 and they are .010 in the hole. Is it a solid cam? I just went through mine 2 years ago. Bores round and straight, crank straight, all it took was dingle ball hone and bearings after being ABUSED to within an inch of its life! The heads are what they are, we ALWAYS need more head flow. I think you will be pretty happy.
