Quote: I never thought about the stock style pick up not working. The reason I was going to use the 400 block was; 1. I have a 1971 400 "230 block" 2. The "B" engine is a little smaller than a 440 and is lighter. 3. Exhaust I thought would be easier in an "A" body.
go with 451 cube 400, all stock parts fit and it will be plenty for street/strip a-body
