The truck will be a daily driver. I'll be running a 4" lift and 33" mudders. Gearing will be 3.73's if i go with the 1 tons i have, but i also have 2 sets of 3/4 ton axles with 4.10 or 4.56's. I do want a big block. Maybe my question is alittle unclear. What i want to know is the 396 BBC a good motor or should i sell/trade for a 454 BBC? Taking into consideration pricing for buying aftermarket parts. Does motor have any flaws compared to 454?
