Well my new 408 is finally sitting in the engine bay

At least it is an external part that you can work on at your bench, instead of under or leaning over the car somehow.


Ohh I agree. I even took time to put my 422 on the engine stand just to pull the plates off. Then I got all the silicone off on my bench grinder so they are ready to grind and fit. I can’t believe they are that far off because a had a set on Edelbrock heads before on my old 408. I know I sold a set to my buddy so it may have been the fitted set. Either that or I opened these exhaust ports out more. Hmmmm.
