Greg, seems like there are a lot of differences in these engines for only 5 acual horse power difference.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken about some of these spec's but I believe the Chevy has at least these advantages.

10 more cubic inches.
Holley carburator to a Thermoquad.
Aluminun intake to a cast iron intake.
Chevy head usually consider better than the Mopar.
2.02 intake valve to 1.88 intake valve.
1 more ratio of compression.
200 grams lighter piston and rods.
More lift on the cam.

I know the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fense but it seems to me there should be more than 5 hp difference between these combinations.

Thanks Jerry Davis
