New 408 build finally started

My buddy ask for assistance gatherings parts for a 283 for his old Corvette and I know is probably going to want assistance building it. He’s a really really good longtime friend but honestly I’m not that interested. The car had sat for probably over 25 years and now that he’s in his 60’s it’s go time.
In the middle of 265/283 as well, and 4 other builds now... Busy is the word, just like that.
