I say do it but the only question that i have is, what is the max lift that that 408 can go. I thought it was like .600. would this hurt the valves or anything?

Going with custom pistons so p to v clearance isnt an issue.

Yeah I here you as this build goes on further I realize how much money it is going to cost me. Good thing one of my close friends is the son of a speed shop owner.

So with that little hint, I take it that your pistons are dished right? Sweeet. Definately want pics of the build.

Dont know exactly how they are going to end up looking once I get verything figured out, probably fly cut forged pistons most likely so I can get about a 11:1 compression ratio I was htinking of just going 10:1 but evryone seems to think I can go higher and still be safe.

Im going to I just dont want to rush things and throw it together I almost have everything decided should be done by the end of next month cause the forged rotating assembly doubled the cost of the build basically.
