I'm a big block guy, all day long.
But, my 62 Valiant doesn't lend itself to a BBM installation easily, so I was forced to build a 428 small block street engine 615HP, 540 TQ, and a 10.49 best without much tuning so far.

I've had plenty of 440s, built cheaper, that ran about the same NA.

The difference is, I can put two kits on the 440 and run 8's.
Not gonna get there with the small block!!!!

Why not ? Mine went 5.60 w a 150 tune,that's 8.80s.I shift at 7000 and it's w 20yr old indy heads.A stock 340 block IMO is also ALOT stronger then 440 blocks as they have a tendency to blow near the pan rail or split from what I've seen of the 3 blown 440 blocks in low hp mopars.
A 400 block and B1s would be a good one I think,but NOT a 440 block.

I don't know if I would go as far as saying a 340 block is stronger than a 440 but a 360 magnum block is certainly stronger than a 340 block [/q

Could you tell me how strong a 360 block is ? I truly never saw anyone fast w one..I Mean 8's or better.
Did they ever even have a forged crank In 360's ?
