Quote: I agree with you as far as popularity quote. Because it is popular, does not make it the "world class motor", you want it to be. Chrysler always gave the enthusiasts choices, different strokes for different folks; no pun intended. Their engines ALL run! Because you have a high-dollar 440 that is run on both street and strip, DOES NOT make me a lesser racer (read person) cause I have a "warmed-over" 383 with iron heads that runs 12.50's all day. If the guys are so sure that a single type of motor is so superior, then enroll in class type racing! Prove your motors worth. Most of us rather "run against the clock" and help others to improve their combos to run better. There is no room for the "ultimate motor", unless you are bucking for sponsorship to build them. It is called being a student and scholar in the world of automotive technology.
