From: Machineguns, because I don’t compromise
Big bore of a 408 yet using 243 heads?
Why not take advantage of the much better rectangle port heads out there? Same price as 243.
Did you get custom spec piston skirts to help the fact they will be below the cylinder @ full travel? There's a reason GM went with longer sleeves on their 4" stroke LS7 block. Your skirts will be below the cylinder almost to the oil ring and rock to one side, then get slammed upward. Not healthy.

ATK 408.
Appreciate the inputs, but I'm confident it will be fine.
