I daily drive (in nice weather ) a 231/239, even though it's pretty tame on a 383. No complaints at all driveability wise, gotta love a 6spd torque monster with 4.10's!

I won't say I dd mine but if I feel like driving it, I won't hesitate to hop in and go.

238/246 .608/.608 112 in a 385 with a pt4k. The converter and cutout make getting groceries most fun.

My 227/233 was a pleasure to drive to work every single day in my 350, but not sure I would go much bigger then that for a true DD.

It was never my sole transportation, but I drove mine frequently with the 224/236 XE cam. Took it on several long trips too. That cam isn't what I would consider big though.
