408 vs. 440: Which Would You Choose?

I argued this road for many months as i looked at both a 440 big block and a 340 small block.

i went the 416 stroker small block (340) route and added w2 heads.
I just drove it for a week and watched the fuel gauge rapildy decrease in volume

The reason i went with the small block was because i already had everything for the small block package aka headers.

I still wonder about the big block route but i am happy with the expense i put out into the small block. However i do think it would have been easier with the 440 to get to the same power level.
I only street drive and may never touch a drag strip (mainly time reasons)
