I had to hit the edit button. Just realized you said 408 and not 416. The 408 is an iron block I believe ?? I didn't want the weight of an iron block. I love these aluminum motors !
Actually Pete talked me into a 402. He said for what I was doing it wasn't worth the x-tra cash for the LS3 block. See, we were trying to put together a street truck that didn't have to worry about the damn rollbar rule of 11.5. We were shooting for a truck that would run 11.8 - 11.9 and Pete just plain screwed up and made it almost a ten second truck...lol. Thanks Pete
I told him the wife would be jumping in it on the weekend to hit the store and stuff so he made a nice driving street truck motor. It is so much fun to drive and the cam is so mello...easy to tune...but is a beast ! This motor is so strong from 55 to 120mph, it is just unreal ! Dave had to put 500lbs in the bed so he could set the 1-2 shift. It would blow right by and bounce off the limiter.
can you tell I'm happy with it ??...lol

Coming to Florida
OK Bob it's official! I'm coming to Florida with the twin turbo truck!
What does your schedule look like next weekend?
Get yourself ready! I guarantee you the 11's are history for me...
You wanted it, you got it!

It sounded too good to be true!
So, in reality my twin turbo truck is a work truck 08 F250 diesel but it does have twins (sequential).
We are working in Lake Wales and then around Tampa area the next week.
Hopefully we can plan a visit though...
