76 sbc 400

Yes I do. A 100 lb weight difference would be real important to a racer but for the average guy on the street not so much. With the horse power race more is better and all but for me, a stock 396/375 would move me right along just fine. I like em.

THAT is an awesome combination!!! My brother has a 400 SB with the Sportsman II heads on it. A mild combination, makes over 1 HP/cubic inch.

I have a set of those S/R heads for my next 400 combination.

Boog, you inserted big blocks in this thread but I'll be the thread robber here.

My Longhorn runs fine with the factory BB with a small cam, but we have a fresh 454 on a stand in the corner and I'm trying to find time to put it in the Longhorn.

More inches is never a bad thing.

This combination has a sound of its own too. I don't drive it home often, but my wife can always identify it by the sound when I back in the garage.
