how are you getting a 408 with a 4.005 bore? 408 is a 4.030 bore on 4" stroke using 6.125 rods

I think he already set this all up and told everyone 408 then Rex said the block only needed to go .005. Someone should change it to 403 for him.

I have a 4.030'' block. we'll just swap and he can keep the 408ci build going.

Glad to see you are making some progress Mike. I can't wait to hear that thing roar!

Thanks! and yeah. it started at a 408, we had a bitch of a time getting pistons.. so when we got our hands on the forged weiscos, direction changed to a 403. im not complaining.. ooh i lost 5 cubes.. ill make it up someplace else lol
