5.7 HEMI Vs. 408 Stroker

dartley said
Been paying attention to this topic. Can anyone recommend a good engine shop on LI for Mopars? Also, what should I expect to pay for nice street 408 build? ... decent heads, single plane manifold, steel crank, 2500 - 6000rpm powerband sort of deal.

PS: That's Long Island, NY

PPS: I located the following link which, if typical, indicates that it might be far more cost effective to build a 360 than a 408:

... What do you think?

As for machine shops in Long island I don't know. As for the 408 It depends on what you have in it but from the way you were talking it should cost somewhere between $4000 to $9,000 and up depending on the internals. Just as an example, You could built a 408 with an eagle cast crank, eagle SIR rods, Hypereutectic pistons, stock heads, hydraulic cam ETC for around $3000-$4000 or you could go somewhere in between for $4000-$9000.

What are your plans for the car? Race Street? Both? That will get you closer to a price.

I don't like buying crate engines because who is to say how the machine work was done or what they used for parts. I checked the link that you posted and all of there engines are around 12-1 which is fine if you are gona race it.
