Yes............... and TRUST ME.....its worth buying a NEW block.... if you really get everything @ cost, than this should be a no brainer..... i dont understand the purpose of this thread if you can get this at cost........ either way..... if your building a 408, start with a new block......trying to find a used one (thats actually useable) IS A HEADACHE....... ask me how I know.

dont skimp on the machine work either: you WILL regret it if you do....... Hell i think i payed something like 1300 for all the machine work on my 408.

good luck on your 408 build..... im sure you already know that building a motor isn't cheap.
