One thing I will say without getting into a big discussion... I have done probably 10 plus 421's. 383's are the only engine I have done more of than 421's. And this engine will be a very fun engine to drive. Great throttle response, great part throttle torque, decent milage, and still pull down some good top end numbers. When you go with the bigger heads 220cc+ and more cam, the car will be faster, but it comes with a price. From my experiance, the bigger cam/head motors make more power above 4500rpm, but give up 20-30 hp and 40 ft/lbs torque everywhere below 4500 rpm. And for a street car, it's not a bad way to go. I guess good streetability is different for everybody. My 450 is streetable, but I wouldn't want to take it on any sort of a trip. With a 252/260 solid roller, a spool, and Et streets, I drive maybe 10 miles to the track and home. It's faster than Ricks, but you give up real drive it anywhere streetability for all out power. Sure we could put some bigger heads on it, maybe more cam, but it will do what Rick wants it to do the way it is. PS: sorry if we got off topic. |
