I agree with Silverback51 - I am also owner of a big block in my machine. But with a big block come some problems (like heat) and advantages (lotsa torque).

You have to make a decision on what you are going to do with the car and go from there.

We still on this?


FIA & Slabside = SB.

427 - Street or S/C style = BB.

The end.

Big block versus small block will always be an individual choice mine was big block for reasons I'm sure a few do not get. What ever the power plant choice for your ride make it all it can be it will pay in the end. Having cars like these should bring out that inner desire for wanting one every time you walk by it. For me part of it is lifting the hood and seeing the engine bay full of big inch iron capable of putting a smile on my face that won't go away.

What other reasons would someone want one of these cars,racing them is certainly a thrill some enjoy I did a while back. These days a spirited row through the gears, passing, or giving someone a white knuckle ride sure ramps up the fun factor. No matter we cannot live this life over so why do it with regrets. Install the engine of choice climb behind the wheel and have the kind of fun these cars are capable of dishing out.
