Thanks for the information.

If you are a power freak you should go big block. I have a 427 Windsor.......is it fast enough oh heck yeah but have I ever thought I should back out of the throttle because I couldn't take it anymore oh heck no. If you like nasty cams, the smell of gas and copious amount of power just go big block from the beginning. I think I will go to a stroked 385 one day.....It may scare the living day lights out of me but I'm not a purist and I don't see the benefit per $ to use an FE. Good luck with your decision and like it was posted before the headers and the engine mounts seem to be all that is holding one back when swapping to a big block.
