Do the 408 while you have it apart and it will work much better.
 
 Good luck, Keith Craft

  That  sounds  good  and  the  408  surely  would  provide  the  torque  needed, we  would  need  to  find  a  better  set  of  heads  for  the  408, the  289  heads  would  not  be  enough  to  make  the  408  do  it's  job, if  the  deal  on  the  used  alum. Edlebrocks  comes  thru, the  408  would  sound  real  good, I'll  let  you  know.......
