440 in 72 Dart Swinger?

I put a stock stroke 0.030 over 440 in my 73 dart swinger. Had Wisco flat top pistons/ eagle rods, stock steel crank, out of the box indy EZ heads, comp 590 solid roller cam, tunnelram etc. The engine had 10.9 compression and ran on 93 pump gas. The dart would run 10.49 at 126 in the 1/4 and was very streetable. With that I didn't think the 440 was any harder to work on compared to the 318 that was in the car before. The only thing that was harder on the 440 was getting to number 6 spark plug. With TTI 2 inch headers on the car. I fixed that problem by drilling a 1-1/2 hole in the inner fender. Now you can change the plug in less than 5 minutes.
I also thought the bellhouseing bolts were a lot easier to get to on the 440. After saying all that if you was starting from scratch I would build what ever you wanted to. But if you already have a bunch of small block stuff build the stroker small block. But if you didn't have anything to start with I would build what ever was easier to get parts for. Like Blocks etc. What ever you decide best of luck and don't forget to post lots of pictures.
