Default New 406 build up

since I broke the crank and destroyed the block of my last 406 its time to start building up a new one.

450-500 HP
500+ TQ

These numbers are easy with this motor but I would like to hear what you guys have to say about the parts that you used and liked.

I've still got some parts from the old motor

Heads Edelbrock RPM
Carb Holley 750
Distributor MSD w/ mechanical tach drive and 6AL
intake Edelbrock performer

My 406 is good for at least 500hp,though never dynoed. Overall a great street combination,though when the time comes I plan on switching to a solid cam.Tons of info on my website.
