adams2003 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) I thought I would start a new thread with all answers and pictures rolled into one post rather than having them spread out throughout the old thread I started. Note: Throttle body posted in pics is not included with the motor! Build Sheet is in the mail so I will scan it and post it up here when i recieve it. So here is the story on the motor with a better explanation than before. My dad bought the 408ci motor off of my good friend eric (aka supersport on here) a couple months back planning on putting it in his 56 bel air. Eric initially installed the motor in his truck, got it running but had a ton of wiring issues and and bad pcm. Took him months to figure out the problems, and with his busy schedule the truck just sat there for 6 months roughly. Finally he figured out the pcm and wiring issues, but by this time the economy had started to tank and Eric wanted some extra cash so he sold the motor and his truck. My dad bought the motor planning on using it in his 56 bel air. Now he has decided to sell the bel air so the motor has to go to as well. Motor has maybe 10 miles on it and is a very well built and efficient motor. The motor cost eric $9,600 when he bought it new. My dad is trying to get his money back by asking $6,500 for the motor wich is a complete steal for this motor! Here are some specs on the engine. -408ci -Built by AMS = amsracing.net -Total invested in the motor $9,600 -ll.3:1 CR -LQ9 Block -Diamond pistons (coated skirts and piston tops, explanation below) -AMS Rods -Eagle crank -RHS Heads 225cc intake runner, 68cc combustion chamber, custom designed by ET performance and sold by RHS heads -Coated bearings, piston skirts, piston tops, combustion chamber, valve and exhaust ports to help hold lubrication and distribute hot spots decreasing detonation ($1,500 worth of coating) -Comp cams duration 236/240 lift .619/.626 113 LSA -Comp Cams pro magnum 1.75 rocker arms -Morel lifters -comp cams pushrods -ported oil pump -Fast Intake Here are some flow numbers on the heads.
