OPINIONS

Well what do you guys think?

...not enough aluminum....

I think that belt set up probably cost more than I have in my entire engine lol.

Looks awesome! I can just imagine your anticipation of the first key turn! Keep us posted!!

What's with the red distributor cap? Don't they make those in polished aluminum, haha. Wow! Awesome, beautiful job. And I'm sure it runs as good as it looks.

What are the specs on this engine? All I know is its a 408 with AFD heads I think.

I must admit, EAST Tennessee is "on the map" first!

I called the First Lady to my laptop and told her, "see what they are doing in East Tennessee" whereby she finally "got it." She told me if my 545 looks NEARLY that good, all my expenditures (12,000$ and counting) on the motor will be forgiven.

THANKS for the post - - that motor is REALLY looking good!

hydraulic roller cam?

As crazy as it sounds it is a pretty typical build from what I can tell. Alot of people are doing similar combos and getting 500-650 hp.

Dang, that is a beautiful piece of work, Roy. +1 on the dyno, video, etc.

Great job, man!

Yes, sorry knew I would leave that out

Why are you looking at without some serious sun glasses on? A tour de force. I am jealous of many things, especially the heads. Great work!

Thanks guys and no numbers on it. Actually looking for a local dyno but no luck so far, but have found a friend atleast with a stand that you can start it on before install. But he has his engine on it right now so not sure when it will be available just yet. But still need a few parts before I'm ready anyways, been this long no hurry now.
