While the FMX is a decent unit behind a stock & mildly modified Small Blocks, It will probably not live long behind a 408 stroker.
With all this money your spending on a 100% aftermarket engine....Why not round out the package with a Built AOD, 3000RPM Stall Lock-Up Converter & 3.90 or 4.10 Gears??
A 4R70W is even a better choice with the controllers now available, Opens up endless possibilities for Converter selection.
If you are after a mild set-up for cruising? A late Roller 351W block with Iron GT40 heads & a Mild Cam would have served you very well with a stock converter & 3.00:1 gears.
So will a MILD 408 Stroker....But your parts list does not reflect a mild build!
AFR heads are some of the best flowing heads out there, Also the most expensive, You can buy a whole Dart Pro 1 top end package for what your spending on just 2 AFR cylinder heads that you will never see the full potential of....Trick Flow is another choice for cheaper cylinder heads.
Sounds as if your engine builder is selling you something you don't need & probably don't want to get the most money he can out of you....I really hope that is not the case!
