You won't find anyone building the entire shortblock for a 408 that cheap but the rotating assemblies are less than that. We sell a 408 kit with Eagle Crank and Rods and JE pistons, pins and rings and Fed Mogul bearings for 2499.00 and one with Diamond pistons for 2399.00 but you also need a block and the machine work. You could do a forged stock inches 6.0 that's .030 over for a 370 inch motor that has strong rods and pistons.
