It will be a 416 with a eagle crank, eagle rods, J.E Pistons for a 10.1 comp with edelbrock heads, Probably just stock as their bought?, A Rpm Air gap Intake, or a single plane? 770 avenger? Headers,3:91 sure grip,auto with probably 10" 3500-3800 stall? Would still be steet driven, as well as taken to the local drag strip too. Welcome any and all Ideas!

I went with a racer brown ssh-25 238/238 @ 0.50 and stock edelbrock springs. From what I can tell this brings ne right to the limit of the heads. I did have to do some clean up on the ports to smooth them out. Sorry I can't comment on the roller.

E.T I don't know , I would say mid to low 12's to high 11's? Not Sure He hasn't been on the strip yet, Told Him its very easy to get hooked! .. I think his builder was thinking of a roller in the 240 range and 550 lift? Yea I would imagine his builder would know to change those Things out on the heads. Seems like a pretty stout solid for a stroker? I am A Pontiac man so I don't know much about Mopars as far as that stuff anyway. Last edited by menomoniemopars; 04/02/11 03:15 PM.

Any input on a cam for the 416? Thanks! I was thinking maybe the 557 mopar cam? Or the lunati 60442 cam?

With an unported eddy head it should make around 460-470Hp with 10.2:1 compression, 750 holley DP, rpm intake with a 1" open spacer and TTI or similar header. With porting it can make 520+HP!

He will still have power brakes, will need a booster? What size conv? part number for the springs and rockers?

It will likely have a noticeable idle with a 108� CL, but the fact is, a cam that's "big" in a 360 is "meh" in a 408. I ran the same cam in 2 different builds...one 360 and one 408. Cam was 254� @ .050" .525" solid on a 110�LSA. The 360 had a real rumpy idle. The 408 sounded a lot more stock-ish...smoother idle, more vacuum...both cams installed straight-up. Fact is that the longer arm really eats up duration. 2 Demons...no, not my kids!

My bud and I built ours with 308 swirl port heads (from a late '80s to early '90s wrecked trucks), worked/with 202/160's, porting/matching. A Mopar 508 cam, hydralic lifters, 1.6 roller rockers, Mopar M1 intake, Quick Fuel 950 carb. .30 over bore, 4.0 crank, 9.75 compression. Cars run low 11's to 10.80's all day long. Good luck.
