It depends on where you live.  Up here the roads are predominately
later model FWD vehicles, therefore that's what the yards keep longer
cuz they can sell parts.

I am undecided.  The 440 weighs slightly more than the 383/400, but
not enough that the additional cubes would work out just fine. 
Though, considering I put 100 hours into modifying my carb intake to
support TPI, fabricated an aluminum plenum, well, might as well stick
with the 383 or 400.  So I imagine I just answered my own "undecided".

Though the 440 has bigger crank journals :)
