The buildup of the 400 as an inexpensive performance engine is happening in the background. Quietly.

Maybe if it was called a "tall deck cleveland stroker block", more people would be on the bandwagon.

It is no longer front to back than a cleveland. A plus for the Pantera where the pullies of a 460 want to visit the driver.

A stroker crank is now available that makes 434cubes from the stock block. That is 83 more cubes than the clevaland. Or another 100 ftlbs of torque.

And for heads, the heads that Jon Kaase used to WIN the Engine Masters Challenge bolt right on. The worlds best heads won't bolt onto your windsor, but they will a 400.

The perfect engine, probably not. But a "pig"? Hmmm.
