Geoff,
Dump the cam and switch to either a Crane 70hr00003 or 70hr00004. Accell DFI will work if you piggy-back
all sensors. The factory computer will work just fine. Switch to either 270 CC or 310 CC injectors. Crank is
a direct drop-in. Factory rods are probably not up to snuff. Switch to the Manley Sportsmaster Rods. Lightweight
and good for up to 550 HP. Run the Safe-Guard ignition (Knock Sensor controlled). Use the KB-356 pistons,
(Dave knows about them). The combo., with the correct porting will net you right at 500 HP........

Subject: DML: Questions on the Magnum 360/408 Stroker project. . .
Hi,
I am fairly new to the DML, so I am not sure who has done this swap, or any
of the details of their project. I know there are a few on here who have
done it, I have heard mentions of their '408' a few times, and from
ABeerCan@aol.com, who sounds like he has the most badass 408 out there.
I am working on it slowly, but its coming together 1 by 1.
So far I have:
-Mopar Magnum R/T Cam
-Crower Aluminum 1.7 Rocker Arms
-Mopar Steel Push Rods
-Mopar Ported Aluminum Heads
-Mopar MPI Aluminum Intake Manifold
-Mopar Aluminum 100% CNC 4bbl Throttle Body
-RamAirBox.com Cowl Air intake
Next up is the 360 block, and 408 Stoker kit from Hughes Engines.
Does anyone have a site that talks about the build and swap?
For someone pushing 600+ hp, what have you done to the drive train?
What have you done about fuel supply? I was thinking Accell DFI, but its so
expensive, what other options are there, and what seems to be the common one
for these engines?
Thanks Everyone!
