    All I had to see on the 400 was the rod aspect ratio to know that it's not for me..... The more I see of long rod engines, the more appealing they look. For me, I think 6.0 on an sbc would be minimum...

    The 400 is probably fine for a mild street engine, but mild just isn't my cup of tea....
