Got some heads for sale I was going to use for this project, but decided that a 235cc head would be more suitable.
$1600 for a as-cast ported 220cc TFS head. Bare.I only blended in the bowls. I did not flow test, only minimal gains to be had. TFS valve job is untouched. Can assemble with your parts or I can get you parts. Credit card and Paypal accepted. SHIPPING IS FREE anywhere in the continental usa.

been awhile since I played with her. No funds or time. But, I have come up with a mission to get it running with parts I have laying around. The 408 is nice but I have alot of other things to purchase for it. So, I bought a 08' 4.8 short block for $250. Going to do a 5.7 head with a pocket port LS9 cam. Cheaper but still an expensive deal doing it the way I want. At least the engine part will be cheap.
Got the headers on, going to do a full mock up engine in it before it goes away on Jan 24th to get turbo's mounted, intercooler and radiator.
next up I will be showing the engine going together.
I also have to decide if I want to do th350 that I have laying around or buy a trans mount and wait for funds to do the 4L80. That's my dilemma at the moment.

not sure of the part number. I want to say 4595 but you can google it!
Thanks for the kind words!
SOOOOOOOOO....I have changed things up a little. Realizing that I have alot more to spend in order to get this thing going the way I want I decided to forgo the 408 and stick in a junkyard 4.8 to get it running!
Still with the turbo's. But this is a total budget build on the 4.8. I got a 08' 4.8 for $250 with 20K on it. I will be using 5.7 heads I have laying around and do a pocket port, valve job and stuff it with Ferrea valve train.
With guys going into the 8's on stock bottom ends I decided the worst thing that might happen is I break it. But more importantly, I will have the opportunity to break it! Looking at a spring to summer cruising fun!
