I have big hands (can palm a basketball). The thought of changing plugs on a big block was not inviting. Plus the cost of buying and maintaining a SB car was in my wallet's favor. My 392 is plenty torquey, loud, fun, etc. Perfect for bombing around town and on the occasional freeway dash, which describes 95% of my driving thus far. And I can see all 8 plugs without removing a valve cover.
In all honesty, had I found the right car with a big block, I would be a big block owner. But the right car had the SB, so I jumped on it. If I were to buy new and have it built, I would probably do more research and really figure out which one I would ultimately favor. I am very satisfied with my purchase, and you will be, too.
