Default My new powerplant (408 with a healthy direct port shot)

Just sharing a few pictures of my new powerplant as some know I sold my Radix'd 6.0L to upgrade. I am doing a nasty N/A "LS6" style 408 with a 200-300 direct port shot. I am getting close but am still about 2 months out from rolling. Here is a picture of the long block with some accessories mounted:



Valve train (1.7 Yella Terras with PRC duals):



Fuel rails, injectors, painted bracket, idler relo:



FPR:



ABEAR covers and EWP:



As you can see the heads are the 799 casting LS6 stage 3 porting by PRC, A big cam, Fast 92, 11.5 SCR... No expense was spared for this build, ARP all around, Eagle lower end, Diamond pistons etc. She put out 613FWHP and 545 lb ft on the engine dyno in NA form. With a shot of juice, this motor will sing. I'll keep ya all updated!
