$3950 and you can have a complete, ready to bolt in, 408 Short Block
with: Forged JE Pistons, H-Beam rods, Clevite Bearings (Radiused), Mopar
4" Stroker Crank, cam (of your choice), Dbl-Roller Timing Chain, Brass
Freeze Plugs, NEW oil pump, all machine work included, NEW Mopar
FlexPlate and Dampner.

All you have to do is use your oilpan, heads, and intake. This is the
price with your block.

You should do the 408.Yes,you should.Unless they`re $10,000.Having a big
block small block would be cool! Of course,if it starts blowing coolant
out the exhaust after 800 miles,then you`ll know that perhaps the engine
was better off as a 360!--- TommFern@aol.com
