I would have to put him on a short list of most knowledge engine people, but what the hell do I know its just my opinion.

Larry.......Hello?....where'd you go....Larry? did we lose you?? LOL

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
RJ,

I'm sure he's smarter than me and I didn't mean he's stupid just ignorant of Mopar blocks. You can't make a 400 into a 440 and vice versa. Rods, cranks, pistons and intakes don't interchange. 400 and 383 are closer together and there is interchangeabilty. How would you get a 400 block out the 440 and still use stock pistons and vise versa and you can't make the blocks look the same on the outside?
I know bracket racers have been running the 451 for a long time but all of the Max wedge cars I've looked at had the raised block and as for 6 packs you still can't disguise a 400 for a 440 unless you grind off that giant pad on the front of the block.

Maybe I'm too honest for this game.
