Ok, thanks guys! I'm not going crazy! haha I'm still planning to do the 408 but this sounded funny to me. Just thought I'd ask the guys here who have more experience in the matter!

Another question... When picking my block, should I focus on the F4TE roller block as my base? I'm thinking that's what I'll do, especially since I have about a year of searching to wait on a decent deal. But is a flat tappet block really that bad? I mean, I've had people tell me to stay totally clear of flat tappet but... they can't be that bad if they lasted as long as they did right?! I know I sound totally ignorant right now! haha I'm really not, I just don't understand why everyone has just up and decided that flat tappet cams are junk! There are obvious benefits to the rollers, and I'd definitely rather do it now or not at all. What's the consensus? To roll or not to roll, and why?
