or Torque vs. Horsepower, use what suites you best. The 440 Mag 4bbl is rated 375hp/490Ft#sTq
the 24V Cummins is 245hp/440ft#tq. Off road having used both, I like the 440 better. The rpms are double that of the Cummins. You have better use of your power with the 440. On the road, the Cummins is going to save you $$.
So figure out what you want use your truck. If you wanted to build a 440 with high torque at low rpms, use a set of the long ram tubes from a Chrysler 300.
