help, which crate motor?
I've narrowed it down to 2 crate motors. Both are from blueprint engines and both are 408 strokers. One is the 375 horse and 460 ft lbs of torque, and the other is 440 horse and 500 ft lbs of torque. The smaller has a cam thats 233, 240 duration with 474 lift. The other a cam thats 239, 246 duration with 484 lift. Although i'd like to go with the higher horse version, I'm afraid that with power brakes i won't get enough vacuum. It seems like a lot of cam for a daily driver. If i could run high 12's with the smaller one that would be good enough for me. I have a 69 valiant with a dana 3.54 gears. I know most of you would lean towards the 440 horse version, but honestly it's a daily driver. Which do you guys think i should go with? Also what do you think the car would run with the smaller crate? thanx
