That's from an old 350 base motor. Your looking for a LS base 408 like this 408cid LS1/LQ9 Iron Stroker Long Block
30' Ford Model A Tudor Sedan - Custom chassis - Big bore LS2 - twin B76's - Glide - 9" w/ 3.07 gears - 30" DR tire - 2k lbs cruiser
An LS based 408 with 10.5:1 compression would net you about 500HP at the crank with decent flowing heads and a good cam in the 230 duration/ .600" lift range.
See my truck data in the "My Garage" section here... http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/my-ga...tml#post191709
The LS based 408's are a 6.0L block (LQ4 or LQ9) with a 4.030" bore and a 4" stroke crank.

Thanks guys!! Im really interested in one of those, but i need to consider the cost of a 4L80E... So, from the price at texas speed from the DBTBSS link.. how much do i need to add to get one of this monsters running..? do i need to change everything from my truck(harness and that stuff)?? thanks again..
