The 383/400 debate keeps going.What Matt167 says really takes care of it for me.Sorry 400 boy's and girl's.If any one is intrested the last time I built a 400 I went through 4 of them to I finally got one good one.The rest of them sit around the shop and make conversation piece's.Any of you 400 people want them?The best one only has a 2.5 inch crack in the lifter valley.L.O.L
