I'd run it.Bigblock mopar engines make a ton of torque and will push a smallblock chevy engine around no problem.

You posted this question in the Mopar section, what response do you think it will get?

A lot of it has to do with gears, I seen an 03 vic limited weld with a sbm pushing around a mod shocker with a bbm. I know people that like them and hate them its mostly preference. |

My engine of choice. Spend $30.00 on a timing chain, put on a 4412 Holley and rip sh!t up. If any small blocks dominate you it's because they have 5g in them and/or your engine is worn out!

$30 vs. $5,000...... you tell me totally agree. A mopar engine don't take thousands of dollars to run strong. |

You posted this question in the Mopar section, what response do you think it will get? Just to clarify, I think BBM 400s are good motors. My only point is that no self-respecting Mopar guy will ever tell you to put a Chevy in it. |

My only point is that no self-respecting Mopar guy will ever tell you to put a Chevy in it. I don't run mopar engines but have friends who do. I will not say they are bad engines. I just never had good luck with transmissions. With that said let the bashing begin but you can watch the videos of me and I don't have a problem with the transmissions I run. |
