Actually he said 408 and my mind went into big block mode.. The words small and block were never in the title or in the original post.

How many of us have or have ever had or will have a 426 or larger old school hemi? Ok, moving on. Most will have a B or RB, not of the max wedge variety either. What's the highest HP 383 and 440 mopar ever made? And what are the factory flow numbers on the B/Rb heads? What were the valve sizes in those heads? Yes, there aftermarket heads that flow, they are expensive and utilize Max wedge ports, raised ports, offest rockers etc. Not factory design.

I've had many mopars as well as my current BB dart. I love mopars. I'm not dissilusioned though to think mopar is the best end all be all in engineering. All the brands have different areas of ups and downs.

To the OP. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the choices you gave but the 850 hp will likely yield max performance.
