400 stroker or 440

No, ALL 400s are beefier than any other factory big block besides the Hemi w/cross bolted mains. Beyond that, there are some cold weather blocks, cast between early 71 and mid '71 (thru June I think) whose casting number ends in "230" that have even thicker main webbing. If you have a 383 or 440 next to a 400 you'll see why they are stronger...

YES! Truth in that statement. Was the point I shoulda made,lol!:toothy10:

It's the reason I went with the 400 :cheers:.
