Quote: I have a different opinion based on what the weight of the vehicle is. The heavier the vehicle, the more torque required to move it. So, I would take the stock stroke 440 in a heavy vehicle and a stock stroke 360 in a lighter vehicle.
, Thats why a SB works better IMO in an A body & the BB works better in a B body, thats just my opion.
As for HP, I remember reading an article awhile back where they made around 650 HP with a stock stroke 360 & W9 heads, TR with BG carbs & a big ass roller cam, compression was around 13.1.
And this same combination in a big block would make 750 +.
