buildin up a 408 and im lost in the motor world now. to start off, it was a built 406 with 305 heads and was suppose to take higher octane then unleaded... =cracked piston. so i bought it and bored to 408. i dont know the cam or specs though and that where i get lost at. i want 400hp on pumped gas to the wheels though and so far its just:
400 block bored .40 over with clean and all that extra stuff
stock crank thats been polished and balanced
.40 over piston but not too sure of the brand or specs at this point (10:1)
holley 750 carb
air gap intake
hooker headers, 3in exhaust and dump offs
would it be better to get a new cam (want a nice lope)that i know the specs and then gets the heads? also which heads (iron) will you think can accomplish this task? and what other parts should be bought to also do the 400hp?
