Question help on 408

i tried to post this question earlier but i think i was in the wrong forum. I was wondering if anyone could help me with specs for a 408 build on a 6 liter iron block. I wanted to try to stay away from kits to save money and use the stock heads if possible. I just want to make a some what low compression motor for either nitrous or boost. Tryin to make around 500 horses on motor. If anyone could give me help on specs or tips on the build. thanks for any help

Personally, if you dont already have a 6.0 block to start with, I would just buy a shortblock already spec'd out from a sponsor--->. I waited around for a sale and found one that was cheaper than what I could build it for.

Email Brad over at FFHP and tell him that you were referred by 99whitews6 and see what kind of pricing he will give you. It only took five days to receive mine from the time I paid!
