Great progress Heine! Lookin good....!!
Thanks Guys !
A Little update on the engine rebuild
Build Sheet:
4-bolt main block – 0.020″
408 Scat Stroker kit…
Probe dished pistons
Scat I beam rods
Lunati hyd. roller cam #20320712
Lunati hyd. roller lifters
Scorpion 7/16″ roller rockers
TFS Powerport 225 CNC ported heads, 60cc Chambers
TFS Trackheat Intake 3000-6800 rpm
Mallory Unilite
Melling blueprinted oilpump
Holley 750 Ultra DP
Cloyes Double Rollerchain
Pioneer Balancer
Tim Meyer “Restrictor” cambearings
Aviaid 9qt. oilpan
Wilkingson headers
Expected output: 550-575 HP and 650-700 NM
Engine bored .020 over and decked.
Care package from Summit Racing - GOOD STUFF !
Installing the Spiral Locks in the pistons from Probe. What a pain in the butt ! But I got good at it....
Fresh balanced 408 Stroker from Scat.
Ready to put in the crank. Pre Lubrication is the keyword here !
Rubber seal mounted as it should be. Many does this wrong ! Rememeber to put some gasketsealer at the ends of the seal.
Trying the endplay of the crank before putting on the maincaps. And after installing then, try Again.
Adjustable pushrod, so I can fugure out the correct lenght to use. I figured out that 8.1" would be the right lenght to use, instead of the stock 8.4"
Testfit....
Looks right on target. Rolls over the middle of the valvestem

I like it. Very nice. Needs great headers. 
Trans looks great. Wish mine were that clean
Heine,
That engine is looking spectacular! I am eagerly awaiting the final result with the finished engine bay and that beast nestled inside you will have the most amazing Pantera in Denmark and probably northern Europe! Keep up the posts and great work!

Hhmmm!
Well Mark, you're probably right
And I appreciate Heine is aiming for 550-575HP, that's the HP everybody living near me should aim for
Thank You all for Your kinds Words - but the most beautyful Pantera in Denmark.....??? Naaaa, I know several that are better looking than mine. But it's getting there, step by step.
Hopefully the engine is back on it's place later this month. Can't wait to hear it roar Again.

More engine update.
Today my son and I got the TFS heads installed, among a few other things.
Installing the Aviaid oilpan
Starting to look good
Holley 750 DP Ultra
Bought new wires just before I took the engine apart. But now I see, that blue cables don't Work for my new build. Have to change then to Black later !

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of Brian Setzer and Stray Cats. So naturally I have their logo tattooed on my skinny arms
