I pulled the motor and transmission today. My 408 and C4 build should start this weekend. Here is my progress so far.

I am building it my self. I am going real slow and checking every thing. I am going with efi. My tuner does a great job with these older fox cars. I will have more pics up later.

You won't regret it. Great choice. My 408 is going together as we speak. I'll still have to break it in but can't wait to get it on the road. Write a budget and see where you want and can afford to be. I am deep in this one but it's my own choice/fault. I wanted all the best parts, mostly because it is going to see a lot of racing and a lot of boost in the future. Let us know if you have any questions. I know pretty much everything about the swap inside and out now. I have a C-6 being built but I am considering buying a C-4 as backup.
