lol I am the only one with a smogger 400 in his car. It will be a 451 thumper with 383 callouts on the hood before its over though   :bigsmile:
Great minds think alike! I just picked up Stage 6 heads for my 451 build. Only I'm going with 440 badging. :2thumbs:

Speaking of 383's and strokers..................ever have some dim witted GM guy tell you that you have a GM crate motor in your original 70 model Mopar? I've had two argue like hell that the only 383 built is the crate chevy. Even when proven wrong they don't want to accept facts.  :roflsmiley:

Ah, yes, the old "world according to Chevy" state of thought......  :screwy:

318 from the factory and still installed.  I always planned for a 340 but like many others may "settle" for a 360 due to availability and budget.

I'm thinking the new 440 inch small block is looking mighty tasty.
