True, but at least the 440's got the aftermarket support going for it as well as the 70's updates to the block design...






Don't you mean "At least the 440's got more piston choices going for it"? Because that's all it boils down to, all other aftermarket parts currently made will fit and work on either one equally.

As far as the block design, what are you talking about? The cast in ribs? Show me where those make any difference in durability or increase in HP? I don't see any real point in even bringing that into the mix.
