Do you mind posting the specs on your build? I have been dreaming of a 408 stroker to put in my 88 after I get the money.

I can give a general description. My buddy is the one orchestrating the build.
It started as a 94 roller cam 351W. Main performance mods are Edlebrock Performer heads and its stroked to 396ci. We kept the stock cam, not sure whose pistons were used. Also the compression was bumped to 8.7 to 1 so it now runs on 91 octane. I still have to deal with smog in CA so my options were limited.

Replaced the battery terminals cause my truck wouldn't start. They were horribly corroded and some of the copper wires were broken off, so a lot of the power was going off into the air instead of going to start the engine.
