help on 408 i tried to post this question earlier but i think i was in the wrong forum. I was wondering if anyone could help me with specs for a 408 build on a 6 liter iron block. I wanted to try to stay away from kits to save money and use the stock heads if possible. I just want to make a some what low compression motor for either nitrous or boost. Tryin to make around 500 horses on motor. If anyone could give me help on specs or tips on the build. thanks for any help
