5.7 HEMI Vs. 408 Stroker

Assuming the motors yield similar power, consider the cost and the hassle of either. My Setup:
408 cast crank stroker from Hughes - 9.9:1 compression (too low!)
87 Octane street, 93 Octane strip
mild port/polish on Edelbrock al perf heads, closed chamber, fresh valve job
M1 single plane airgap with gasket match (heads too)
Street - Edel 1406 600 cfm carb, vacuum secondaries
Strip - Holley 750 with proform center
Comp roller .544/.541 236/242 110 centerline
FBO ignition, ditributor curved to 16 inital, 34 total @ 2900 rpm
Hooker comp 1 5/8" headers (dented bottoms on driver side, naturally) 3" collector
2.5" pipe to flowmasters into 2" pipe (looks to be OE) into a-body tips
3000 stall TCI streetmaster - 727 manual reverse
3.73 Dana into 28" slicks for strip, 28" street radials

My best time at strip with the Holley, Slicks and open headers is 12.35. On the highway, with the 28" radials and the Edel 600, I can get ~14 mpg at 67 mph, tacking right at 3000. There is probably more in the motor as it is, but I am somewhat happy for now. Oh, and BTW, the car is very streetable, and pulls away from the light with no stumble surge or issues. A great driver, and fun. Incidentally, to stroke the 360 and drop in in place of the 340 required NO modification to the frame, body, tranny tunnel, or anything else. On that basis alone, I would vote 408 Stroker.
