383 or 440 Dilema

383 will have a bit more room to work with, but that's not saying much. Wither way, it's going to be a tight fit.

I have a 66 Valiant wagon, and one friend of mine keeps telling me to put a 440 in it. A small block it tight enough in one of those for me to work on, I wouldn't want to try to squeeze in a big block and cut the inner fenders etc. But he keeps badgering me to put a 440 in it.

I tell him that if he wants me to put a 440 in it so badly, to go out and buy one and do it himself....

I'm going small block, because that's what I'm comfortable working with, and it's MY CAR!...
