Is that still the 408 you got from me? If so let me know how it does. Should be a badass motor

Yes Sir it is.I swapped to a different cam (pat g spec),went with the heads in my sig,yella terra rockers. it's been a long process. ended up doing a 4l80 swap,ripped the whole fuel system out and upgraded to 10-an feed and 8-an return,pusher fans behind the grille,A2w intercooler with 10 gal ice box,4" aluminum charge pipe,custom blower bracket for cog setup,it's geting really close though! I will keep you posted.

NO WAY! what is going on with it? The 4l80 swap is really not that hard at all Mike! if you get the parts we can do it in a weekend! No more troubles!!! I can make you a crossmember and tranny lines and I have all the spec's for the driveshaft's,and the shop I got them from in St. Charles had them done the SAME DAY! A little wiring and a segment swap and it's all done!
