Anyone using a 408 with a blower?
I'm thinking about putting a 402 or 408 in my truck and keeping the whipple. I've gotten 5 or 6 price quotes and they are all different. Those of you running a 408/blower combo, who built it and what parts did they use?
Thanks in advance. |

I'd love to just throw a cam and maybe some heads on it, but, i'm worried about the pistons and rods. |
Keith Craft built my short block and it was about half that for jsut the shortblock
|
I have a Keith Craft shortblock with TEA heads.Just the shortblock with a cam will run you at least $5000 add some good heads a ported oilpump and a stud kit with gsks,the list goes on $10000 is about right.

I've gotten quotes from ls1tech sponsors ranging from $3400-5700 for a shortblock. I have also had longblock quotes ranging from $6100-8500. Haven't heard back from the $5700 shortblock people. What will a $10000 408 do for me that a $7000 408 won't?

i am anxious to see what a 408/whipple can do. have you had your current truck to the dyno at 15psi?
|
I dont see a Whipple being able to feed a good heads/cam 408. I say this, because mine is having a very hard time feeding my minor head work/cammed 6.0. The pulley I am running would make 15psi on a stock 6.0 and it is only able to make 10psi on mine.
I say go with a different blower if you go big cubes or stay with a smaller displacement if you want to keep the Whipple. |
