I purchased this shortblock a while back with the intention on having it honed and dropping in -12 to -15'cc dish pistons for the twin Garrett GT3071r's in my truck. Plans have changed (ie:bad economy) and I'm going to put it up for sale. With the Flat top Diamonds, you will get 10:9 to 11.9 compression depending on your heads.

The block has 8k on it (as a 408) and got new rings, bearings and a honing about 500 miles ago. No N2O since it was freshened up. I'd like to get $3000 b/o.

408 iron block (balance/blueprinted/decked/line honed)

Thanks for looking, Rick

 

Hmm. I am taking a motor I have tomorrow to see if a guy that has been bugging the **** out of me would be interested. If he contacts me I would seriously consider this. I will shoot you a PM as soon as I know something tomorrow evening

 

damn thats a good price.. same block as what i got in my 408 ..damn dude ur from lafayette.. ur pretty close to me man

 

who assembled the bottome end the first time, and last

 

I believe it was built and re-built both times by a shop called S & S machine in OK.

Thanks Danny. I think it is a good price too. The original biuld was about $5000 and the freshing-up was over a $1k.

That's a pretty fat cam in your truck. Must sound pretty sick.

why was it freshened up after such a short time?

 

The orignal owner said he blew the tranny out at the track (he ran it at the track for about 1 1/2 years in the Street/strip class,). It wasn't his daily driver but he drove it pretty regularily. He decided to do a bunch of suspension work and then thought it would be a good idea to freshen up the motor while the tranny was out. After he had it freshened up with new Seal Power rings, new Clevite rod and main bearings and a honing, he drove it for about 500 miles (no N2O) while working on the suspension and other upgrades. Then he got a deal on a 427 shortblock that he couldn't pass up so he pulled the 408 and sold it to me. If I don't find a buyer, I'll install the -29cc JE pistons I picked up (after a fresh honing and balance) and put on some 243's and crank up the boost.

nothing lopey

hey are u using a stock tranny for ur truck?

 

Rick,

Just a shot in the dark, but how would you feel about a trade for a street legal XR650R?
