soon 408s are gonna be more common than 347s. What happens is everybody blows up there 347 going max effort on it, Then you are faced with a decision do you pay for another forged 347? Or do you pay an extra 1200 - 1500 and get a crank too slap it in an iron block and get all the extra cubes. Unless you want a sleeved block or want to do the ls2 / ls7 swap an iron block is the cheapenst alternative to big cubes and they make decent power which is why everybody wants one.
