Posting for a friend from Appleton


HPE forged iron 408 short block!
Nothing wrong with the motor, it's only got about 1000 miles on it. Need to sell due to financial concerns
Eagle crank, Eagle H-Beam rods, Weisco forged pistons with 8cc valve relief, ARP fasteners.
Let me know if there are any questions.


Figure with a stock combustion chamber and a .050 cometic gasket, should be right about 10.8:1 compression

He's asking $2500

So that leaves two options that come to mind if this shorty block is not going in...

A ford motor or a ecotec 4 banger...

To me it looses a coolness factor w/o the EFI cuz it being a 99' and all...

Carbed BBC's werent on the option list then lol.

Someone needs to convince him not to put the bottle down yet either, That stuff really works when you figure out how to keep the rods in it!:headbang

I vote for putting a rotten old junk yard 5-liter in it with 100K on it straight out of a 92-93 fox and whack with with a 500 shot and put them stock forged slugs to work for ya! should run close to the same times!

just looking at goals and aspirations and realized at some point i'd like to do a turbo setup. spending another $4000 on this and better heads isn't really something i'd like to waste money on when it's a dedicated nitrous setup.

and as much as a BBC and spray would be fun, i like my little fuel injection setup.

and the only way to do THIS and a turbo would be to repiston this or buy a set of REALLY nice ETP 80cc chamber heads.

First, truth be told, Wheel 2 Wheel has a 347 shortblock they advertised for sale built for boost. Cam and covers and lifters, etc.... -15cc dish pistons, all setup for Ronnie Duke. He paid most, but hasn't paid them the rest and told them to just sell it I guess. Either way, $2000 for that shortblock and I'm trying to jump all over it.

Second thing, how much you want for the cage?
