1968 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback (old school build with a new school feel)
I started assembling the 408 Stroker today. I am running full groove main bearings to give a constant feed of oil to the rods. Main bearing clearances ranged from .0016-.0019". I have nice sore fingers after installing 16 spiral locks without a tool, but all the floating pins and rods are installed with assembly lube. Looks lie I am running 5W20 based on my clearances.
