Can a 400BBM w/cheap aluminum heads compete/dominate against the street LS?

Well I've built 383 Chevies and 347 Fords but never a LS engine, so..............having no experience to fall back on I should stay out of this discussion.


Oh, and...........I've never built a 361, not in 2011......not ever. Now my Dad did build one in 1959, ran over 150 mph at Bonneville that year.
What was the BBM that you built for the engine masters competition where they ran your engine without coolant? I thought that was a 361 based block., sir.
