6.5 just because you'll start of with 40cc's more than the 5.5. Also there are more parts available for the 6.5.

There pretty much the same motor , only difference is the stroke . The bore is the same also . Any part that goes in a 6.5 will fit in the 5.5 . Maybe some of the rods may differ .

i dont really perfer them so to speak i just happen to have a lot more of them ... i have 200's and 390's too . i just find for most of my personal needs a decent budget built 160 is very capable . my animal and built hemi are damn fine motors too :laugh: i like them all :thumbsup:
