Still not bad, $6500 for a built 408 complete from top to bottom. If I get my asking price for the Radix and I can get some $$ for some of the LQ9 parts (do you still want any of it, BTW??) and the rest of the crap that's in my garage, it will take about $4000 off the price tag.

They do good work where you are getting a the work done. I had an old 302 get cleaned up and bored, balance the crank and all and I was happy. When are you planning on coming down. I am in the process of getting a house. Hopefully I will have it by the end of this month if all goes well. You are more than welcomed to stay.

Oh and the reason why I was asking you on the other thread is because I am having the same problem everytime I change the oil I have metal shavings. This started to happen when my oil pressure dropped. Right now it is around 20 at idle, but the thing is running fine. So I will push it until it will blow.

They may cost money now but they would be a PITA to replace later on. Or you can go with the LS7 lifters, thats what Im going to try out they seem to be good and reliable for our app.
