367 vs 410 Engines Masters

I'm in the middle of doing something similar to the premise of this thread. The current 340 with decent cylinder heads and cam in my '68 Dart kicks *** and runs very well. However, I'll be replacing it with a milder 408 because I don't need or want top-end hp for this car - though the 408 will definitely out-perform the 340, but in a milder package. The care is just a cruiser and I love the bottom end grunt that a stroked SB provides. The 340 will go into a future hotrod build.

Sounds like it will be a cool setup, main reason to go large is less rpm, get away with less gears stall etc.. to get into the meat of the powerband usually ain't too hard cause whatever speed (rpm) your at the power ain't too far away.

I'm not knocking large displacement, not even saying this 410 might be a better performer than the 367 just want a fairer comparison of these and other engines of different displacements performance potential.

Half the people only want better heads only for the 410 and other half don't want 367 to have it's needed setup :)
