What's the 408 consist of, parts, etc? How much? I'm in the process of looking for a 402/408 motor as mine is dead as well, nothing like you had though Crazy to see that kind of destruction.

I had a mishap that mangled the combusion chamber of my AFRs pretty good. I thought for sure I'd have to buy new heads. Not the case. A local fella made them look like brand new again. He said he's repaired chambers you could stick your whole fist in.
