408ci parts list....what's missing, what's wrong?

Looks like I'm bailing out on the 408. The cost just got to out of hand. Besides my family would like to ride with me not shake them out of the car at idle. Good luck man.

So if it is built right the first time and I treat the engine well I should have no problems...right?
Well the only thing wrong with my stock block is number 8 needs new rings. I'm thinking of just taking the stock block out and have it stuffed and stroked with light weight internals. Green94 5.0 has some Stage III TFS twisted wedges, TFS Stage I cam that I'm thinking about throwing on. At this point I just want the car driveable without shaking all over at idle. Also going to do a tubular K-member and coil overs is money permits. The 408 after purchasing the crate motor and all that just got overly expensive.
Joe, why dont you settle on something in the middle of those 2 extremes, like a 331 short block?
You have the heads and intake, and you wouldnt have to modify the hood, headers or that stuff. H3ll, you could even keep the blower, but you could still sell it to finance the engine. You would still be making 400 and have REALLY driveable car that you could GET ON anytime.
