SB Stroker....One more time

My 408..The short block was built by Hughes Engines which consists of a Mopar Performance cast crank (better than the Eagle cast crank), Scat H-beam rods, and KB Forged 10:1 pistons, internally balanced. I used a milodon gear drive to handle the timing duties. (and because I liked the whine noise it makes) The bottom end was buttoned up with a HV Melling oil pump and a 7 qt moroso oil pan with a built in windage tray.

I also sent my Edelbrock heads to Hughes Engines to get the stage 3 porting with 208 intake valves, new seats and springs to match my cam. The cam is a custom Hughes grind hyd. roller 252/258 deg. duration @ .050" and 576/576 int/exh lift @ .050.
I am also using the Hughes 1.6 aluminum roller rockers. The intake is a Victor 340 ported and gasket matched to the heads, (done by Hughes) and I have a 750 mighty demon carb. I am using an electric CSR water pump, so that probably freed up a few horsepower, and also used the TTI 1 5/8 1 3/4 headers...I think that's pretty much it....It was actually pretty expensive for me to build this engine and man I wish I would have went big block because I know I would have had 100 more horsepower and torque...for the money I spent on this engine..( i should have at least used Indy heads and top end package, i know I would have touched the 580 HP/TQ mark...) and yes, its a 91 octane pump gas engine..

Maybe next time I will have Brain at IMM build me the engine..
