400/426 Stroker. Ever heard of one?
Why not just build a 451 ? A few extra cubes won't hurt. My 451 spins like a small block and has lots of grunt.

Ron, I gotta tell ya, I agree but, since you whet the bigger is better, why didn’t you suggest a larger engine like a 470 or the big crank for a 498/500 or bigger ye 512 build?
Not for nothing, he did state he knows about these set ups, he mentions in his video
440source.com about it. I know you watched the video right?
He also mentions he wants a to do something different which seems to be a problem for you and others. Why is that?
So a guy chooses to spend his money the way he wants to and tells everybody so and yet everyone side steps that noted comment by the builder and act as if it’s not a fact only to suggest spending his money on something he doesn’t want to do which is actually the waste of money.
Am I missing something here?
So far I get it’s not;
OK to be creative
Do something different
Spend your money the way you see fit
Have fun your way
But instead follow the herd;
Purchase what is popular (even though you don’t want to)
Do a build you don’t want to do
Etc….
I don’t get it. I do know it sucks doing things differently than what the herd does. Lord knows I got it on most every thing I did and do. Things like;
Run a MoPar
Run a small block
Use a TQ instead of a Holley
And the list goes on & on & on…..
The real waste of time is not doing what you want to do and follow others on what there doing and ignoring your inside and trying to be creative or different while having fun.
I get this crap **** from Chevy guys. They all have their list of reasons which boil down to the Chevy being popular and cheap.
If popular and cheap fit you, God bless you but don’t devil shame me for using what I want and not being of the same mind set especially being cheap and running what’s popular because it’s plentiful and cheap. Even more so just to save money.
