Re: Big block or small block? 38's or 44's?

If I had the option, I would run a 454 so that you could mud in 4 high, then when your axles break, step up to 4.56 or higher numerically gears in 1 ton axles. But remember, when you then sink that big block in a deep pond, the replacement cost over a small block will be higher. That makes the stock 350 with low gears very desireable in my eyes. As stated before, it really depends on the trucks intended use and your wallet.
