A great day for all! I wimped out and took the daily driver (c'mon it was frigid!) but it didn't matter. I anounced my intent to build a 408/418 stroker in my garage over the winter and got some much needed help from Dean & Bev Davis up in Windsor who are lending me an engine hoist and an engine stand, and from Paul F. who has offered another engine stand (for robbing parts from the 351 I'm pulling out). Paul has also expressed some interest in being at least partially involved which would be great.
The all forged short block will arrive in a couple of weeks and then the fun begins. It's actually going to be closer to a 418 as it is .060 overbored and 4" stroker crank so that gives it 414.2cid by my calculations.
Thanks to all! See you on the 4th of Jan. for the next one.
