Never mind the rest of the stupidity that hangs like a fog around this car, and wonder to yourself: Why would you build a 402-inch big-block when you can build a 406-inch small-block for less money and carry around about 250lbs less weight over the nose? Retards shouldn't have wrenches.

Why would you build a 402-inch big-block .......

Actually the 402 was a factory configuration that was introduced in 1970. They continued to label it as a 396 in the mid-sized cars and for the full-sized it was called the "Turbo-Jet 400". The only time they actually used the 402 moniker was in the trucks. :huh:

Besides, if they're so proud of the motor, why are there no pics? :hmmm:

 

[Dr.Jass]

Yes, I'm well aware of all that. It doesn't answer my question whatsoever.

 

[68R/T]

They probably didn't really "build" the 402. They're making it seem that way because the factory 402 was nothing but a .030 overbore 396. So, to answer your question, yes, it is cheaper to build a small block and a wiser decision. But if you just happen to have this old truck engine laying around, why not glitter it up and baffle the buyer, with minimal investment:huh:.

 

[Dr.Jass]

Actually, it probably was cheaper to assemble the 396/402, since 400 blocks are harder to find and demand a premium. Besides, people get "big block blind" and flip out at what's essentially nothing more than a whole lot more weight. The 360 v. 383/400 argument all over again.

 

[68R/T]

The 360 v. 383/400 argument all over again.

Like I've told many people over the years, the 360 is a small block that thinks it's a big block and the 383 is a big block that thinks it's a small block. :huh:

Uh-huh... buddy's demo car with a '77 400-4V B-motor:

J.C.: "This thing is a smogger pig."
Jass: (twists the distributor unknown amount, adding a bunch of timing) "Go treat it like it's a 283, Chevy-boy."
J.C.: (after first heat) "Holy shit! This thing rips like crazy above five grand!"

After that, he liked it so much he had the motor completely rebuilt with wider tolerances at the bearings for more-permanent demo car usage. It now "rips like crazy" to well over seven grand.
