Looking for some thoughts.
I'm about to pull the trigger on a 408W long block with trickflow heads (11R) roller cam 540/560 lift, scat rotating assembly w/H beam rods, lunati double roller chain, ARP bolts, 1.6 ratio full body aluminum roller rockers, milodon pan. fully primed (will even dyno it with my intake/carb) and ready to roll out of the crate for $6,000 and warrantied at 36,000 miles. Free shipping both ways should anything go wrong.
Or, I go to a local shop? I have a 69 351W which would fit the bill and would be a perfect candidate for this project.
My thought is the cost of the heads and rotating assembly is close to $4,000, cam/lifters/timing chain/rockers/bolts has to be pretty close to a grand. What do you guys think the machine work would run?
Anyhow any advice, or a good shop to take it to if I go local would rock.
Thanks.
Talk to puss check if he still has the built Windsor available. It's a badass motor
