77 motorhome 440 vs 71 360-what to use???

I vote 360, stroke the thing out to 408 and have at it! You'll get a **** load of torque with the stroker and it handle much better then with a 440. Just use 1" torsion bars and good shocks you'll be set. Either way add sub frame connectors (weld in kind, I have the US car toll version) to stiffen up the chassis with the added power. If you plan on driving the car long distance, I'd reccomend that you use the GM 200R4 overdrive tranny which is smaller then the 904/727 (meaning not tranny tunnel surgery!) but like the 904 needs to built up to hold any real power. You can contact cpt transmission for the trannny and order up the adaptor from wilcap. If you follow Mopar To Ya thread, he is going to be installing this same tranny in his car.
