Thinking of going 408 I'm thinking of going 408. But I can't afford to change the cam/intake/heads right now. So I'd be on stage 2 243s, G5X3 cam, and an LS6 intake. I know it would choke it down badly, but how badly are we talking? Anybody have a setup like this? Or with a 383? Anybody want to add some helpful comments? All help appreciated.

To maximize the benefits of the 408 a better flowing combination would help but it will still make more power than the stock displacement shortblock. The torque down low will be killer and it will make the most power the top end you have is capable of up top . I would do it and once you have enough cash it is as easy as a h/c 90/90 swap.But you will already have the motor. that is only my opinion and what I would do with my car. mario

go with a 408, whenever you have extra cash put it away for the good heads and intake. alotta people think if you go stroker that you have to get the best combo for the most power, of course its easier said than done

Sounds like a plan, fellas. Definitely a good plan. Heck, I already have a 4" Eagle crank. And an LS1 block that I think I'll sell and use the loot to buy an iron block. I could just sell my current heads and LS6 intake, then buy an L76/L92 setup.
