Cyl sidewall wear with a 416

Why stink money it to something that might not withstand much abuse--why not just get a stock stroke BBM-be cheaper and last longer--yeah takes up too much space in the engine bay--only negative about the big blocks

Well actually there are other negatives about big blocks, they are also heavy and the stock blocks aren't any better than a small block when it comes to handling horsepower.

Some of us would rather do something different as well. I had a very nice 550 horse 440 I was planning to stick in my Duster when I got it but after looking at it and the 340 that was already in it I was really on the fence about what to do. Then some bozo told me I couldn't run 10's with a 340 in a street car so that settled that problem, it had to be done and the 440 was sold at Garlits' show that year. lol
