A 402 is basically a 0.030 over 396 and was I think 310 or 320 horsepower pre-1972 re-rating to net hp. What's not to like? Good power band and plenty of torque.

Easiest and cheapest big block to build. I am currently doing a Mopar and a nailhead in other projects - parts are double on the Mopar and triple on the nailhead.
