I found a 408 windsor, It's a 71 block,Je piston around 11.1,steel 4340 forged crank eagle steel rods machined and blueprinted for around 450 hp it's on a engine stand never fired.
The guy wants 1800$ what do you guys think, should I get it.
If its brand new and even if its just a shortblock thats worth the $1800. If you do get it make sure to double check all celarances and torque specs. Plus add a Main Support System to it.
Be careful buying heads for it. You will have to get a set of large combustion chamber heads. They must have heads on it or planned on a certain size head to go on it to figure the 11:1 compression ratio?
