Opinions wanted: 408/416 Stroker or 440?

Yep, this is for the Coronet. I have always thought it should have a big block but it’s cool knowing that I have one of only a handful, if not the only B body with a 340. I like unique.

Are there any points given to having a lighter engine up front or one that can rev up faster/higher? I have been told that small blocks can handle more revs and get to those refs faster than a big block.

Strokers of any size need the best heads you can afford, and a camshaft bigger than the cam catalogs list for a street engine. (very basic there...lol)
This is good info to know and sort of what I was looking for.
