FWIW I am off to dyno my 408 stroker next week (finally my turn). Keith Craft built the top end (Heads-Cam-Intake) and my local machinist Stanley Morton did all my machining. I went with the Eagle Forged Rotating assembly that is zero balanced. I expect to make at least 500 hp at 5800 RPM (maybe more). I went with the comp cams girdle, scorpion roller rockers 1.72, Ford roller lifters, Comp Cam retro fit spider and dog bones, Performer RPM Intake (helped a little by Keith Craft), Pro Comp Distributor, Srp pistons, H-beam rods, SRP forged pistons, etc.

I expect to track and drive this engine on the street.

Good Luck with your decision. By the way counting machining, parts, etc I have about $6500.00 plus the $300 I am going to spend on the dyno in my engine. That includes everything from the billet flywheel to the water pump pulley, and includes a high torque starter. No labor because I did all my own assembly.
