I have a nice roller valvetrain for it.


I just did a 412.

If I were to do it again, I'd probably have grabbed one of those dart blocks from summit for $1400. By the time I finished with all the machine work and "fixes" to the stock 400 block to make it "bulletproof", I had spend within a hundred or so of an aftermarket block anyhow - AND the dart blocks are already set up for OE roller cams.

The idea behind the 400+ for me was get away with a bigger cam, go fast, but not have to spin it over 6,000 RPM. I'll let you know if that plan works out.
