New Setup 408

Barry Jackson · 07-21-2003, 10:16 AM

If anyone is running the following setup please let me know how it runs and any problems. This is my winter buildup. 351W to 408, AFR 185's, cam with at least .600 lift, winsor jr with holley 850. AOD with Lentech valve body, 10 inch converter and 4:10's out back. I found that few ? at the front may save a lot of problems later.
Thanks,

Go w/ AFR205's or worker Vic Jr's . Think big , if you build it like a hot 302 it will run like a hot 302.

id even suggest box stock Vic jr's over the afr 185's....afr 185's are mostly used on 347 and such...etc etc.

Demon, how does your car run. Could you give some time slips and numbers. Im very interested in your combo, similar to mine. I still need a tranny and an 8.8 posi. Mine ran a 7.50 at 101 in the eighth, babying it out of the hole, first time down the track before i broke the tranny. hehe. Any info would be greatly apprechiated
