There are several reasons to use the 401. Availability, cost, condition, and performance are a few.

What Alan said. Port design, combustion chamber, durability. You can sell 077 heads as collector items for more than 401 heads cost and the 401 heads make more hp.

What everyone is saying is that the 401s are not exact copies of the originals. Use them if want to get the most for your money.
