We actually started with a 454, then 440, 427, 416, 408 and settled on 388. With the large bore and short stroke it is very strong, loves pressure, gets really good mileage and has a boost range upwards of 40 psi. Drives like a little old lady car if you keep your foot out of it.

A while back it took a stout 540 with an F-2 to make similar power and it really chews through fuel.
