I have had 4 stroked 400 combos so you know what my answer is. The 451 in my 3100lb Demon went 10.07 with max wedge ported Indy SR's. My 69 Charger went 12.07 with a Eddy Rpm Headed 451. Demon went 9.56 with a 400 based 512 with the same Indy heads and same cam. I was lucky and found a 230 casting number block for the Demon. I put a 512 in the Charger and it went 11.39 with ported Edelbrocks Heads and a garbage converter. 1.72 60' Time!!!! All of these passes are at a track with 2200 feet actual elevation. The best corrected altitude was around 3300 - 3400 feet.
As you can see I am a fan of the 400 Stroker!
Thanx 451 Guy

Partial fill, studs, and a girdle..... I would think that a 440 block set up like this should be fine up to 600.
I run a studded 230 casting 400 block. I'm only making around 510 hp though. I figure if I ever rebuild the top end to make more beans, I have a block I can work safely with.
