The little 358 sounded sweeter at 9,500. 358 sounded noisy until it reached 7,500. A real loose bottom end used in NASCAR.
The 440 is standard firing order and relatively calm and quite. It was a little rough at part throttle but, like I said the plugs are pretty bad and the tune has gotta be out a little.
