slap a running motor in it just so it moves.
Pull the 408 and do what you described on it. I would replace the mahle with a different brand. I don't think they are intended for what you're doing with them.
You may want to consider having tops of the new pistons coated as well.

Most of the work was done in the snout.. This was done to help drop IAT's also opened it up enough to port match a nw 102 t body this I'm told has been a gain of 100+ wheel don't quote me on that I haven't done any research or side by side comparisons to back that... The lower manifold from what I can tell matches very nice to the ports and really doesn't look to be much if any gain from doing the lower manifold. So it was left alone. I need to look closer at the Lower manifold I ordered the bolts to mount the blower to the heads yesterday, as well as the steam vent lines because the oe unit from the truck won't fit.. Also a 07+ gm truck waterpump is required to clear the discharge actuator.. ***Also a heads up*** the actuator if your blower did not come with one... New ones can be purchased from gm, there is a special tool that comes with gm actuator in the box that will help you set the actuator correctly.

Well finally have some parts coming in soon here's a couple pics. I've been waiting on my turbo, and hot side since February 2015. It features sinister Racecraft crossover and log manifold with dual 44mm gates, s488etr-ho with a v2 racecover and I went with the 96mm exhaust, and 1.58ar exhaust housing. I've decided to pull the heads and have Frankenstein fix and do a different Cnc program on em. I'll probly drop a new piston in or possibly get a set of wiseco pistons in. Also I'll switch to an inconnel exhaust valve at the same time.

I may make two of them.. We will see depends how much I race. I'm limited to a 4"dp and keep ac. But I may cut my stock hood for a hood exit for racing 5" they said it really cuts down on power output running 4" but I'll try it and see what it does.

Nah you wont notice any power difference with 4" vs 5". 5" will spool a little better though. Are you still planning on doing the compound setup? If so I would have gone to a bigger turbo...
