273 keeps countering me despite what I say. While there is a hint of truth to what he saying, he’s also leaving out much of what I state. I want to state for the record, that anti-big black nor do I think you should not do a big block. If that’s what you want to do, absolutely! Go for it! Having a big block Duster myself, there are some very excellent straight line advantages to the B/RB. Just looking into the heads, valve sizes, flow rates, pretty nice parts out there! Big inches available, many aluminum parts to get the weight down to about a small blocks weight.
If you decide to do the small block 416 the RPM air gap is the better manifold for a healthy engine. If you can have that ported out, do it!
