Chain for ALL LA and Magnum small blocks is the same. I don't know the
Edelbrock part#.
There should be no changes required.

FelPro - #1008 will work. OK for bore up to 4.180, read as fire ring is
further out. Compresses to .039

ARP doesn't sell a kit for the heads. Hughes has assembled the necessary
pieces as a kit, about $70.
I'm not sure if ARP has the Main kit. Dave at Hughes can help here as well.

Don't know. Please forward me the info, if you find out. I'm also in the
process of building a 408. Low compression (8.3 or so) with aluminum R/T
heads
topped off with a S/C.
