Default 408ci roots blower build

Well i finally bit the bullet and started my build after months of decisions.
It's a 6.0l block bored .030 with the callies speed pak with upgraded i-beam rods and the forged diamond -28 dished pistons.

Should be around 8.5cr

Keith Craft AFR 245 ported heads.

ED Curtis FTI hyd roller cam designed for a 10-71 roots blower.

BDS 10-71 stage 3 blower with billet rotors coming if my intake ever gets done. ha-ha They have been working
on it for about 11 weeks now.

BDS 3 hole bug catcher hat and 16 injector efi setup.

Holley dominator ecu kit coming when that gets in stock with there coil setup and wire harness.

Will post pictures as the build starts.

I powder coated the block chrome looks pretty trick.

I'm still debating on the boost setup. I was thinking seting it up at 10psi and have 12lb and 16lb pulleys sent with for the dyno. The master tuner Mark thinks a 8lb setup and then have 10lb and 12 lb pulleys sent with. i'm sure he will chime in with more details.

I should mention this will be a E-85 engine and shooting for 1,000 -1,200 hp
