I actually had both. a Texas speed rotating 416 and now a LME 377.

My case was a bit special on why I went "down" to a 377.

Honestly, Cost was #1; as LME is not cheap, you may say difference between LME 377 & 416 isn't much after spending the coin BUT in all honestly as this was second motor and was also upgrading supporting mods that were being done at the same time as LME parts and KATECH oil pumps....
Got me to reason #2 and realistically the main one and it goes along the line of JSH's comments... my setup made 980RTQ on the 416... car was just ridiculous even on the drag pack and I mainly use this for street stuff and at that time was also my daily driver... So I opted for the more conservative 377 which was about 150 less tq on the same setup and I dont know... car just behaves a bit better.

Reason #3... when ordering my engine with LME... wait times (back in 2022) was 6 months for a 416 vs 3 months for a 377....

So yeah... 377 it was....
