367 vs 410 Engines Masters

When looking at hp graphs to make comparisons first thing I try to determine is the application. You have basically four categories with some exceptions and overlap. Race cars, Race cars that occasionally are driven on the street, street cars and street cars that are occasionally raced. knowing what the application is for the motor is important to know when making motor and motor part choices. Most times your street driven car guys are not will to sacrifice cruise rpm to gain performance. If they already have gears that are highway friendly they plan on keeping them. If they don't already have some sort of over drive that would allow deeper gears and an acceptable highway rpm then that will be an added expense along with a set deeper gears. So the additional cost will have to be figured in. If it's a race car then different gears are an option as long as the customer is willing te spend the money on the gears. Sometimes you can make a pretty good guess as to if it is a race car or a street car application just from the list of parts used in the engine. Mixing Race car gears with street cars can result in an unhappy customer. There are always exceptions.
