Mike-c5 (408)

Well the bottom end is ready to go, time to pull the 383 and replace it with the 408.........

Well guys, Im building a 408 to replace my 383.

I will be at 9.5:1 in compression to run my D1SC with it.

-GM 6.0L Iron block bored (.30 over)
-SCAT 4340 4.0" stroke
-SCAT 6.125" H beam rods w/ ARP 2000 7/16" bolts
-Wiseco forged 4.030" -15cc dish pistons
-Childs & Albert Fire Power rings (for high heat applications)
-ARP Main Studs
-Clevite MS 2199 H main bearings
-Clevite CB 745 H rod bearings
-Dura Bond CH-23 cam beraings
-Ported Patriot LQ9 Heads Stage 3 (72cc)
-ARP Head Studs

-A&A 8 Rib set up

I decided to go with ECS Big Blower Cam (Have no idea what the specs are) but Chris told me it will make power.....I hope it makes 800+ with the D1SC.

Man, I thought you were already in the middle of building a while back.

I'm sure it won't disappoint. Looking forward to a nice build thread.

Mike what intake are you using? Sounds like a good buildup and plenty of potential.

how much boost you plan on making and how come you're staying with the D1?
wouldn't an F series blower be more at home on your 408ci motor?

Boy that's a drag... same happened to me several years back when I was building my 32 coupe. Had the motor in my garage, all ready to go in.. but couldn't do it until I found work. Oh THE PAIN.

Can't wait to see some pics and dyno chart. This is going to be a killer.
