I'm going to run it this Oct. to see if its got a 12.90 in it. Should be able to find his sig. in the small block for sale section. Also runs a 340 duster in FAST that runs in the 11.50's

Good porting for the cam used. 450hp out of a 408-416 isn't real difficult. Just get it built right. Look at the one Brian built for the Car Craft article. 485hp/517tq with a 750dp carb. Ran 6.93-94 at 96-97, 1/8th mile in his 3300# car. You can save a few bucks here and there on that build, maybe put a milder cam in it as well depending on what you want. http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/ccrp_1006_small_block_mopar_stroker_dyno_test/index.html

Do you just buy a $100 to $150 core std bore 360 block, machine that, and keep you current short or long block together as a proven unit?

So I'm kinda of saddened to think about taking apart a good engine. I'd keep it together or sell it, pick up another core...street car, I'd start with a magnum block, use factory roller lifters, a hughes HER3642, and basically emulate this build: Jesse Lackman's 520HP RHS headed 408 your location, I'd probably look at hensley to do the build 1976 Spinnaker White Plymouth Duster, /6 A833OD 1986 Silver/Twilight Blue Chrysler 5th Ave HotRod SOLD!* 2011 Toxic Orange Dodge Charger R/T 2017 Grand Cherokee Overland 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude (holy crap, my daughter is driving)

I've changed a few things so I'm hoping for the best. Jeff wants to be there when I run also. It was nice to meet you last weekend and I hope the tribulations with your engine are behind you.
