    Man that looks familiar. That engine's a thing of beauty.

    What kind of main support system is that? What heads and cam are you running?

    What it's going in and other particuliars?

    This motor is going in a 1971 comet gt that is being restored as we speak. It has a baby c-6 with 9inch rear end, 350 gears/posi. The cam(solid roller) intake 242/608 and exhaust 248/614. It has Victor jr heads. I had the motor build at this site:
    http://www.badasscars.com/gallery.html

    The second site includes the price of everything:

    http://www.badasscars.com/engineprices/fordsb.html

    Just scroll down till you see 450-525HP 408 stroker. I did add a few extras like the billet main support with studs. A "quick fuel technology 750 carb, oil pan etc. Total price was about 9 grand. I should say that just receintly I lost my job but that will not deter me with this project. Anyway, please navigate the site I provided and let me know what y'all think. Also check out the questions that people ask in the tech stuff section. I want to say that you guys have helped me regarding alot of car issues and I thank you very much. I figure the car will be done in about two more months or so. The breaks are already in which are ABS and they will stop a train. Lastly, does any member live in the Las Vegas area? Thanks again guys!
