I'm looking at two crate motors. Not to purchase, but to follow the blueprint for my own build. I am contemplating two setups but am a little cornfused. First off, here are the two setups I am considering for a build:
http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new ... _435.shtml
http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new ... _460.shtml
Now the 435 definitely looks like a more "streetable" setup. However, the 435 is a 350ci and the 460 is a 383ci. Yet the 435 is only 25hp/tq less than the 460. I am considering going with the 435 setup due to the streetability of the cam, yet I'd like to make the block a 383. Would a 383 be suitable for that combo? In other words, I'd like to take the 435 setup and make the bottom end a 383. Would it not be matched for the head/cam combo? Or should I just go with the 460 setup with the more agressive cam? Or is it too much cam? Thanks all for any help.
