Brainstormin' 440 vs 5.9 ...

LOL... so that's your way of saying the 440 is worthless in its present state?? gearing it so it's out of RPM's by the 500 ft mark? Ha! Then how about we put 3.23's in the truck now and make the 5.9 run with 3.23's, then put the 440 in. Both run off of 3.23's. Like that comparison??

Yes. You asked what the 440 would do in the truck with a $500 budget in post 1. I said it’ll be a turd because $500 won’t get the 440 optimized for anything. That would be a cool test though. 3:23 with the 5.9 then you’d have data for both gears with that engine. Then swap to the 440 with 3:23s. Then hop up the 440 and maybe later put the 4:30s back in it. Interesting
