i guess it would be a 383 then, i have no experience building and tuning 400 might need to ask my friends on this one.

but i was looking at the eagle kit to do a 383 or a 406, and its the same price. so why not do the 406, yes it will cost more for the block which i do not have but just looking for the more bang for your buck on this one.

i know it will not take much more motor to get the car really moving. and to be cheap i plan on running my intake and heads at first and then up grade later.

yeah she runs good for what it is, in the video in the link the that was the first pass on the 250 shot, which you can tell i didn't get the plugs cleaned off in the first pass. but if you see the video at night the plugs were clean then. lol the car has never came up that high before. i had to get out of it and right back into it, and it still went a 6.19 @ 112mph just i need some more seat time to get use to looking at the sky. needless to say i drove it out there and home.
