Default 408 cleveland anyone?

I ran my ute at WSID on wednesday 25/8/10, the motor in it is a 408 cleveland built for a mates detomaso, a prolect that is now not going to be completed, It ran in my XY ute weighing 1620kgs 11.7 at 116mph with a full exhaust, pump gas, toploader, and slicks.
If anyone is in the market for a good cleveland its forsale for $8000 complete with carbie, dist, the lot, I will take it to the drags run it and pull it out so you now how it goes, heres a quick run down of it
*Scat 4 inch crank balanced with mallory metal ( takes zero balance flywheel or flex plate )
*Steel 6 inch rods
*Forged flat top 1.2 pin height pistons
*zero deck
*Cast 2V open chamber heads good valves, springs, guide plates, rollers,ect
*Crow solid 246/256 cam
*Weiand accelerator manifold
*850 DP holley
*Ford electronic dist
*Romac balancer
This motor has only done about 100klm plus 3 passes down the strip, Its a pretty good buy for $8000 as a complete going engine compared to those ebay short motors for $8400

Yeh these strokers are pretty easy to get into the 10s in a full bodyed falcon, This one was built for a sports car not a drag car, Its all new just ran the cam in then fitted the inner valve springs and took it to the drags it ran real clean with 28 deg total advance and short shifting it at 6000rpm so theres room for improvement, If I was going to have it I would put a bigger cam in it and a high rise manifold, after saying that im sure theres more in it with the existing cam and manifold combo, Not many new engines run there best time first meeting

Yeh the cam is abit like the crane F246 that every one uses, It was the choice for the Detomaso not what I wanted but now ive driven it I guess its OK, Im a bit old school and want to here the engine rev its guts out im not used to shifting at 6000rpm but I think the syncos are enjoying it

Thanks I enjoy keeping as much stock stuff as I can, Ive been drag racing clevelands since the mid 80s after all that time I should be going faster, As far as being well set up in the body department its stock springs and all, hasnt even got tramp rods just 90/10s
