The 408 would need a 6.0 block. If i were you id save up and buy a built short block. If not you can get the crank, rods, and pistons from any of the sponsors on this site.

alot of sponsors sell complete Kits, I would look into Texas Speed and performance kits, I have spend alot of money with them and they have always been super.

On a side note one benefit of going with a 383 which is what I have done, is it is about 80LBS lighter than a 408. Keeping the aluminum block. Unless you go the 408 with an LS2 block,,, $$$$
