Seeing this is a dedicated gm site, my assumption was it would be understood I was referencing gm engines................

I agree Jerry a BB will outperform the 400 in almost all areas. I have read extensively about both engines and the problems associated with both. The 400 with cooling issues and steam venting is concerning, but it seems those issues have been ironed out after a couple decades?

Price for the two engines were within 75 dollars of each other and the 400 lays down better numbers. I have always known to stay away of all 400s, but when put together correctly they seems to be a screamer???
