Stocker engine choice

[Greg Hill]

Dave, I can tell you this. It's going to be a hell of a lot less expensive to get the 350-270 to run 5-7 tenths under than it will that truck motor 454. If you don't believe me call Bruce Parsons because he has experience with both motors.

Dave,
You have a PM

So then to move mass you need tq. Then 454 would reason on 60' and at the stipe? Also thanks Chris.

Dave,
I'm not saying do one or the other. The 350 is a great combo that has/is run by a huge group of people. The 454 is rare now-a-days. Some people seem to be under the impression that the 454 won't run and that's simply not true. That's all I was trying to get at. Someone said that the 454 is the WORST choice. That's just ignorant.

Again , It was I who said the 454 was the worst combo...IN THAT CAR, IN THOSE CLASSES.... (I should have qualified that statement by mentioning the 400 2bbl as first -worst)

Ignorant? Maybe so, but I stand by my comment.
Then again ,what do I know?

Guys,I want to thank you for your input.I did get to speak through email with Bob Bender.Knowing that I do have the option of the 454 I think I will work that combo in time,but I am going to go 350/270. He has proven that combo works. I might have been under estamating the 350.Also, I want to thank Bob for his input,and GOD speed. If any of you are at the Jegs Northern Nats. I'll introduce myself .Dave
