We sell them as well,
here's a link to some general pricing:

We can do any combination, (pun intended), that suits your needs and we have supplied many 408 setups that are all living very hard lives.

HPE is the no brainer choice IMHO. Call and talk to Erik. He's the primary engine builder and will flood you with all the info you could ever ask for and he build a serious stroker motor.....I should know
Keep an eye on the Drag racing section. My little HPE 383 Stroker that we put in the wife's "Grocery Getter" is about to set the track on fire (All Motor baby).
We've already turned 10.6s w/1.42 60fts @3520#s complete with A/C and PS.
I would already have the simple tuning and fuel system done if she would quit waking up first and taking the dang SS to school/work. LOL. She says she like the attention
Keep us updated!!!

i'd stay as far away from LME as possible, the other builders i havn't heard anything bad about. HPE is building my motor, and i HIGHLY reccomend them. Eric is the man.
