Ok , need to step back

Hell He USED to have an early hemi in the thing!!

Richard, I'm not sure a 400hp SB is gonna be much of a mileage / cruiser improvement over a mild 400 stroker!!!
Thats my point Dell 354 to 470 Ive replaced rear ends. Im like a little kid in a candy store
another project isnt going to help. Look in your own back yards . How many of you have projects that are on the back burner. Your waiting for time,money,health, kids to move out. Two cars in my garage ,one will be favored more while one sets.
Dell 400HP VS 500 + their would be a difference and I think more user friendly.
I guess my point is . when I was young I needed thinks and could justify it. Now that Im older I dont really need thing. I have plenty to keep me buisy . Kids ,grandkids
Part time job etc. Its time to come to grips
