Switched to a 408 I just got my new setup installed..
It was a 402..Rings went out so I had the Machine Shop do their thing and I put it together and dropped it in. I recieved a built Short Block(Crank, Rod, and Pistons installed, balanced) and assembled it from there.
Heads on..
Lining up the Clutch..this is the best alignemt tool there is..
All together and ready to slide in..
About to drop it in..
Engine in from yesterday..the Poly Motor Mounts were a pain in the ***, but everything lines up.
UMI Torque Arm and Crossmember..
Stuff getting slowly together..
Ready to start..
And here it is running..

It's idling at 60psi cold, runs great and holds a steady idle, I still have to make a few adjustments. I bled the Clutch and it moves..took 3 minutes to bleed. Speed Bleeder FTW..
Soon I'll be driving it.
