Re: has anyone used A Dart 427 Small block

I don't think a small block bored and stroked to that degree is really a "streetable" engine. Not something I would want. Generally when you push too far away from the factory design the reliability severely decreases.

I guess it all depends on how much power you really need/want? 400+ from a 383 is easily achieved in a reliable package, and you can get really good low end in them---which is what you want if you are using a 4x4 as a 4x4.
