the only part I think is "too small" for a 408 is the exhaust housing. You will have quite a bit of backpressure. Other than that, it'll work fine. 98Z28cobrakiller should chime in before too long, he has experience with the pt88 and too much back pressure.

If it's a T6 housing it will do. Is it ideal? Not quite, it's a good start.
I just saw where this is going in a truck on pump gas. This will be a perfect set-up IMO for a big heavy truck. 408, PT88 quick spool (on your motor) and still have enough nuts for 15psi and 800rwhp.
I think a GT-91 would be perfect for your set up if you ever planned on racing it or wanting more on top end. A GT-88 would also be another choice even as they have a larger turbine wheel than the PT88. You could also look into the Pro Mod or X275 billet wheel 88 from PTE.
