I really am taking a liking to the 408, but I dont know.
THANKS
Just finished purchasing/machining/building/dyno'ing my combination. It's an eagle kit, Part no. # 14127. 351w block. It's now 418 cubes. Excellent kit. Dyno'ed at 572.6 HP @ 6200 rpm, (with old victor jr. intake....now have Super victor, sposed to be good for another 20 or so HP). Torque was 517 @ 5400 rpm. As far as the oil control, the Eagle kit has plenty of meat under the piston pin, (rings don't go right where the pin boss is). I can hardly wait for spring!!!!!!
