The off center block will except stock or after market parts depending on what you want to do. Usually if your building a stage motor most everything will be after market. The on center motor takes a few different parts and can be set up to make a little more HP than an off center block, but after 800+ hp who is counting hehehehe

Yes I run a T-400 and have a B&M Mega shifter in the stock location.

The photo was taken a week before the switch. But to look at it, the only difference in the inside is a different shifter type.

Take Care
