Big Block, 427 or larger stock bore equal torque and that is what you feel in the seat of your pants. Small block stroked to 427 will rev much quicker, more exponential where the big block feels more linear.

I drove one with a 460 I let out the clutch and did not give any gas the car didnt even stumble, massive torque, but when i crushed the gas peddle I never felt the car accelerating as fast as a stroked small block.

Some say a small block has weight advantages, with my fat a&(( I dont think it matters much after owning three small blocks if I dont go with a coyote engine it will be a big block next time. TORQUE = FUN, I love smoking the tires.
