431, but yes, check out http://xephic.dynip.com/dodge/dodge.html and off
the menu thingys on the left you will find "EFI COnversion" and you can
see what I brazed together.  Plenum pictures aren't there yet, but the
injector bungs are.  Also, the fuel rails are done, but I have to take
pictures also.

line boring eliminates misaligned bores... whole purpose of this
process.  Turning down the 440 crank to a 383 or 400 engine is not a big
deal, and you have the same crank strength as the 383/400 crank assuming
both are cast, or both are forged, or both are steel.  Gotta compare
apples to apples :)
