408 all the way, it will handle more power, more cubes = more power,

yeah it seems kind of funny either a 331 or 408 comeon 408 dahh, no really from the looks of your sig 302 471 horse i would think u would want to step up so if it were me i would do the 408 probably but cant say for sure, cause i am building a 347 soon just need a little more green to buy my stroker kit cause i already have theblock and the rest of the goodies for it , if i had to do it over again cause of what i know now ..................408 DEFINETELY
