Who's had experience with SB400's and Gen III^ engines?
Which would you recommend over the other and why?
I HAVE a 509 casting 400 block that I had planned on putting together to put in my car. I had a 400 before in my last Trans Am and LOVED it for it's wicked torque, throttle response, and demeanor. It suited me. MY GF (At the time didn't like it b/c it "gave her whiplash". That was great, IMO.
I have an opportunity to buy a 6.0 truck motor complete w/all accessories, harness, and ECM, 114k for $800.
Now I have gone and given myself a dilema...
