400 stroker

I hear you, but I barely fit that damn 440 in the Swinger. I am still trying to find aftermarket chrome valve covers to let my heater blower motor fit back in. Aftermarket heads to let the motor breath like the stealth heads would give me the same issue but heads like the trick flow are even taller, thus complicating matters further. There is a trade-off everywhere. My intake height was a consideration with that build as well since I wanted the hood to close and look stock. I had to go with a thinner air cleaner to do it and frankly the motor doesn't care for it. It would do much better with more airflow and a carb spacer. The B motor helps a bit with a few of those things. I like the idea of the the 440 stroker and it may eventually get there, if not in this build, another. I was rushing to get this car done before I left and it didn't happen. Lofty aspirations, I was close, but no cigar. From a safety standpoint with those motors putting out 600+ hp I am not sure how I feel about stock seatbelts and no cage. Every piece of the suspension on the car is new and upgraded, including brakes, but it is still a concern.
