so guys its sounds like it would be a better bet and more power if i bored out a 396, figuring that they are harder to find and so are the parts, i was reading a tech article in chevi hi performance, it was pretty cool. i think thats the way i will go, sounds like a better bet, also hey guys, how is the throtle response on these engines? cuz i was looking for something not to touchy, like i dont want a engine that will haull ass if i barely touch the pedal, you guys get my drift? how do these engines respond? or does it depend on your set up?
