Has anyone noticed that the Chevy 408 is the newer better 383? So us Ford folks need to do them one better with the 418. They seem to be gaining a lot of popularity.....more and more showing up at the dragstrip.

I went with the 418 with the forged Eagle 4.1 crank...cost the same as the 408, but seemed like a good compromise between the 408 and 427 for a stock 351 block. I have had both a stroked 460 (521) and a 427 FE so I appreciate the larger cubes and the low end torque that comes with it.
