Bob,
The same arguments by the same non motorheads over on the other post.
When did anyone ever tell them a 427 was a bad choice for a Cobra? All the sb fans ever said is if you want to race (not dragrace) the sb was a better choice.
The only time you will see sb envy is at the car shows where the BB is certainly the engine of choice for non racers.
If I owned a BB street/show car my first choice would be a SO 427.
I am sure I am not the first guy to trade in a 427 for a small block for track duty. Even the best 427 SO has a lousy oiling system for track use. Isn't that why the pro's from the sixties had dry sump systems in the race 427's.
I never saw anyone laugh at a BB when the hood was open but they sure do when they see a sb sitting there.
At track events when a guy with a BB opens the hood all the non racers crowd around to have a look even though other sb racers might be faster.
I guess it's all about image, if it is bigger it must be better, what fools.
