New 408 blown build
 

Hey guys I am new on here been checking out the site for a few years now. I am open to any suggestions on this thing. I already have most of my parts here and am just about to have this thing finished. A buddy talked me into putting this on here. I have a 86 chevy full size pickup. I am building a 408 ls motor and putting a 4.0 litre whipple on it. I have a 10 rib dedicated blower belt setup. I am running the a1000 pump and filter kit and ID1000 injectors. The bottom end is a complete callies setup. Weisco pistons with tool steel wrist pins. 10.2:1 comp. I am running a set of slightly modded 243 heads. Cam is a 239/246 .623/.615 on a 114 lsa with all matching springs. Running a turbo 400 and a 12 bolt behind it. Hoping this thing does fairly decent. If yall feel I have left anything out, like I said I am open to suggestions on what else I need to get. I will be running a huge heat exchanger for the intercooler and also a meth kit after I get it in and running. I have a set of 1 3/4 long tubes on it as well. Thanks for looking.

I would say get a set of 1 7/8 heads at least for that and that's going to be a sick a** 408 when it's done. And have any pics of the truck?

Welcome. Pics or never happened

I was trying to find a bigger set to fit the truck but didn't have any luck. I will get pics posted as soon as I get to my computer(and I figure out how)lol.

x2 :D welcome to the site! sounds like a killer setup :hail:

Should be a fun build. Make sure you get some pics up. When do you hope to get it running?

I really hope to have it done by the middle to the end of this month. Depends on work I have been covered up so, gotta make the money before I play. Here are a couple pics of the truck and the whipple and one of the 408. I got the truck as my 12 b-day present and this year I will have owned it for 20 years.

Nice choice on the blower. Those Whipples are beastly.

That truck is badass

Thank you!!
