Good points!

I WILL find out the diff 'tween a 383/400 and 440 block I have an apart
383 short block at gramps, am about to go up their this weekend, may
have to weigh the sucker!  How much ya think, just for the block alone? 
I'll go ahead and weigh the stock crank, rods, n pistons as well...

It's good that you modified a B block intake, that means your goin with
the 451, ey?

GOOD FOR YOU!

Go to http://www.c-com.net/~atc347/451/ and view what a dude who's
callsign is acutall 451! I cut n pasted some of his info and advice
about 451's onto my e-mail website and named it the 451 MANIFESTO! or
451 Domain, can't remember, but it has a lot of specofics on the subject
of the 451!  MOST GOOD!

The main journal size may not be afactor, especially if ya just align
bore the mains in the block instead of cut the mains down on the crank! 
Like Keith black does with most of his high dollar strokers....

LATER!
