SBC: 400 or 350 4 Bolt main?
I have an opportunity to pick up either a SBC 400 or a 350 4 bolt main. (both are stock)
Which would be the better choice?

I would buy the 350 and make a 383.Don't getting me going on the 400.Like I said a few times before the 400 makes nice door stops or end tables.I will have to look but I think I have 3-4 with cracks in them.One even has a hole in cylinder about the size of a golf ball.Originally posted by ohekk
