And that’s a great idea! 383 or 400 is the best solution! I love my 340’s but to me it makes no sense to put that much money into an engine to wish you had done it differently

If I knew how expensive machine work was... and I didn't have parts already, I would have went with a Big block. When it's all said and done my 390ci magnum small block will be ONLY about $1,000 less than a 520hp/550tq 440 crate engine.

I'd pay the $1,000, just for the amount iof options available, that aren't for the magnum SB.Magnum builds are basically all the same.
