Big Block vs Poly

I do remember seeing that website a ways back. That fueled my interest in the Poly, even on a 402, they are pretty much maxed out at a little over 400hp. I see on the sight where is says that it should be good for 500+ HP, but nothin to back it up.





So your talkin a difference of 10lbs. Still saving 80lbs on the BB and that is still a lot. Along with an aluminum master cylinder, battery relocate to the trunk, headers. Still will have a better weight distribution than a stock 440 Cuda and closer to a stock Small Block, so it should go around corners.

Poly Heads weight 51lbs each with out rockers arms. Actually over estimated the Poly, should be closer to 511lbs with aluminum intake

More expense with a Poly, one extra expense that comes to mind would be custom headers.

I think I'm settled on a stroked 400.

More expense in pollywood for certain,tho' until 440 source came
out with 'em, the H2O housing was $168,and I still doubt a true 15# savings on the BB,for
that $ i'd skip a few meals instead!! Anyway, I am a fan of the 451, and hp/$ is a much
better choice. Good luck & keep us posted :coffee2:
