My 04 Regency build
I started this build back in 07 and it's came a long way since then. This is the first build from back in 07 and the progress since then.
Pulled the engine and swapped to ARP rod bolts. pulled the cam out and was going to install the new one but we noticed a bad cam bearing. pulled the top end off and i took the heads to the machine shop to get ported and polished, also having the valves recut to 202/160's. And since we're having to replace the cam bearings, I have to pull out the crank. So i'll go ahead and put in new rod and main bearings.
The parts list:
ARP rod bolts.
P&P Heads 202/160 factory castings
Comp 918 Springs
Comp Titanium Retainers
Comp hardened Pushrods
Comp 1.75 RR W/ studs
Comp lifters
Comp Cam 581/592 224/230 114
Spec Stage 2+ clutch
42# injectors
And for the grand finally
ProCharger D-1SC with 3-Core Inner Cooler
The 4.8 made 480 rwhp and 460 rwtrq @ 12psi @ 6K rpms
We had a few build problems and the 4.8 crapped out so i pick up a 6.0 for $700 bucks and slapped in.
So know i got a new game plan.
THE PLAN
I'm going to build a 408 with an F1-C Procharger.
Four link the rear
Either a Dana 60 or a 14 bolt rearend
Upgrade the fuel system
upgrade the transmission
etc etc
So this is what i've done so far working towards my built 408.
Customized GTO shifter
New fuel system
I'll take some new pictures tomorrow and show ya where i'm at now. If yall have an good ideas or advice feel free to let me know what ya think.
