Picked up my new bullet yesterday- UPDATE Video added - 07/14/11 10:09 PM

After two month of chasing parts (Mostly due to my frugal ways) I have them all in one place and the 408 will be completely assembled, in the car and running this weekend! Plan on doing a break in run on the engine, then to track on Tuesday. Specs: 408, 264/268@50 solid roller, 1.6 roller rockers, 11 to1 comp. Holly 750 Dominator, 1 5/8 headers. ( I have 1 7/8 headmans to be installed soon.) 10 X 29 Hoosiers and 3.91 gears with a TF 904. 2850 race wt. Looks like the weather will be in the high 80's. Any guesses as to what it will run?

My 408 is somewhat similar except for heads and headers and runs from 10.teens to 10.30s so I'm going to guess yours will run 10.40-10.50 range

The short block was built by Ryan at Shady Dell, We assembled the rest.
We'll have it together ready to race tomorrow and no place to run a T&T until Tuesday.

Looks nice and should run hard.............one thing though, if it was me, I`d get rid of that sharp kink in your alum. line feeding in to the reg. and put a good 90 at the reg. then straight line to it or make it EXTRA swoopy if u know what I mean.

Looking forward to hearing how it runs, pretty much IDENTICAL (compression, Cam duration, heads, intake) to my 414.

Made it to the track tonight got in one run before the rain set in.
10.59 @ 126 no tuning straight off the trailer. Spun pretty good out of the hole. 60 foot was just a little better than the old engine. I'll try to get it out again next week, have to go work to pay for this stuff.

A second straight off the trailer, that's a substantial improvement, what was the 60 ft and how heavy is the car.
Well done

The car weighed 2880 on the E-town scales, with the difference in the iron heads vs. aluminum I'd say 2850 lbs. Car spun off the line, 60' was 1.535 only a .011 better than the best with the old combo. I think there's still a lot on the table waiting to be picked up one crum at a time We were the first car with slicks down the track after drying from a light rain and I don't think a lot of effort went into track prep given the probability of more rain I had one of these on my face when I got the time slip. Then it rained and we had one of these to celebrate our success.
