400's are they any good?
a lot of people are just misinformed, like MOPAR7172. compression ratio is just one piece of the whole puzzle. if you dont get out there and try different things, then you only know what you hear, and for many years guys have been saying 360s are junk, 400s are junk, late 440s are crap... some people jsut dont know any better. you can make power with low compression. you can also raise the compression without stroking any engine out there, not only the 400. you can mill heads, run closed chamber heads, thinner head gaskets, and higher compression pistons. stroking is not the only way to raise compression, and it isnt the only way to make power.
