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....

You made the right call. I could quieten mine down with a larger upper pulley if I really wanted to.
I placed my order in November 2023. They quoted 30 days but with Thanksgiving and X-mas, this and that, and I had to send them the oil pan off my 377 because it was out of stock. I ended up getting it around January 20.
If mine were solely a drag car I would have bought the 427 or larger if available. I've done the "fastest car" thing with a 700+ cid hemi, 6.50/210 door car, but honestly, I'm having more fun with this one for much less money.
