small block vs. big block in a cobra

[Silverback51]

I'm a very happy big block owner.

I have always preferred a big block due to the reason that it's relatively cheap and easy to get more hp out of one. Regardless of what you do to a small block, it will always be subjected to higher stresses at the same hp levels as a big block. That's just a plain and simple fact.

The real question you have to ask yourself is what do you plan on doing with the car. Determine that, and then pick an engine that fits your use.
