  • How much would a build like this cost? im thinking about getting out of the whole mod motor thing. any est. on HP? how was reliability? do you have a build thread on any forum? thanks!

  • @Treyb0220 The motor itself is roughy $6000, then all the EFI stuff is probably another $2000. Then of course you need the tranny etc and lots of other things. With a 408 you can usually make around 475 horsepower with a smaller hydraulic setup to anywhere north of 600 horse with a good cam and some decent heads. Reliability is awesome! Check your messages for the build thread, it won't let me post the link here.

  • @CoqLateralLimit What style water pump are you guys running? Is it interchangeable with a 87-93 5.0L mustang water pump? If not is there a way to run that pump on an 80's style 351 windsor? Sweet car man!!

  • @bigrigs Yes you can use the 87-93 water pump, timing chain, heads, cam, alternator, PS, etc. Just need different accessory brackets and intake of course. The headers will be different also. Lots of parts swap over though!

  • @Treyb0220 When I did this burnout the car was probably only making 475ish. If you find the other video I have called" 408w Mustang In Car Pulls And Street Burnouts", thats when I upped the compression and put the solid roller in. The car was probably making 550ish then.

    The reliability is great, there isn't too much that can wear out. If you go with an aggressive solid roller, the valve springs are really the only thing that can wear out. Even then, its not too much to change them

  • Did you use an older model 351 block, or a newer roller model, I have a 1978 351w I wanna turn into a 408 but im not sure if I should get a newer model roller block, Ive also heard the vintage 60-70s model blocks are a little stronger than the newer models, what is your opinion on it?

  • I actually used a mid 80s non-roller block with the retro-fit link-bar lifters (which i am now selling by the way haha). The way it works is that the 69-74 are by far the strongest, but they have a deck height of 9.48 vs the regular 9.5 in the later ones so that can be annoying sometimes and doesn't leave much room for setup. However, the mid 80s blocks (still non-roller) are quite strong, and you would have no problem making 7-800 horse. The roller blocks are the weakest

see all
