Help me win this argument 400 in a 72.

Theres nothing like people looking tween the fenders and seeing a monster bb in an abody wow is the response most of the time

! But without stroking it yeah it's a low hp engine

I can vouch for that. Big Blocks have eye appeal. They have that wow factor.

A 400 with the right compression or forced induction can rip. IMO though it isn't worth the trouble of putting a BB in an Abody (that already has a SB) if you aren't vastly exceeding small block cubic inch. Of course this will depend on what parts you alrady have but if you are going on the hunt for an engine, I woudl not hunt down a 383 or 400 that will remain at that CI to buid your BB abody.
