Find a 400 block and a 440 crank, and the necessary pistons for it and be done with it.
But if I HAD to do either...383. More torque is always better. Extra weight is negligible.
Heh... now you've gone and built me a $3-5000 engine too. I'll get a paypal account if you're buying...
Besides... i dont need 451 cubes. Hell... for what i want to do i dont even need 383...
Funny how the extra weight is negligible... after you aluminize everything on the lowdeck except the heads, it weighs nearly the same as the Magnum. But HOW??? The small block doesn't even have iron waterpump/housing or intake, or steel crank, and everything is smaller, some things a LOT smaller on the SB. How the hell is the 383 even close...??? Weird. Small block Chevys are bloody heavy too. I dont get it.
