Help me win this argument 400 in a 72.

It's funny anytime someone wants to builds a 273/318 even a 340 most on here say don't waste your time or money, no replacement for displacement go for 360, then as soon as someone wants a big block everyone no go 360, sure you can buy cheap *** headers for a SB but if you buy quality there gonna cost the same, plus headers and aluminum intake will bring it closer to the weight of a stock SB, I'd go 400 over 360 or even a 408, 400 has better bore to stroke and rod ratio compared to a 408.

What you'll find is that most of these people have little knowledge and less experience. For instance, if you were to look at the people who knock going with the 400 in an A body they are people who have no experience with a BB a body. You also have the purists, you know Abodies are for A engines, B bodies are for B engines... etc.

That's funny, I guess you never had a 400

There is no doubt a 400 can be made to run.... That being said I would never put a 400 in anything without it bearing a stroker reciprocating assembly. LOL :thumleft:
