Thread: 350 chev vs. 400 chev

Tweet

Comparing a 400 Ford to a 390 Ford is light comparing an apple to an orange! They are 2 different engine designs / families.. The 400, known as a Modified, and the 390 known as the FE. Completely different designs and intended uses.

The 340 / 360 comparison.. I've never heard anyone ever say a 360 was inferior to a 340!

Perhaps it's a regional thing?

If you were raised in a Mopar family like I was you would hear the 383-400 340-360 comparisons often and 400 and 360 would always coome up short. More cubic inches less horsepower does not weigh heavily in their favor...

That is not true that the 390-400 came in different cars with different intentions. IT replaced 390 in all cars LTD,Galaxie,Montego,Marquis etc... I won't go on but it was all of them rest assured.
