Big block or small block?

It's a blast to drive (even when it's cold outside). If I had an FIA Cobra (or a slabside), I'd have a 289 with the same toploader for the same reasons. Doesn't need gobs of horsepower, just lots of street torque, which it does have. Maybe the body/frame configuration is recent, but the drivetrain is 1966 vintage. A few oil drips don't bother me either. Give me the old school for this car. This ain't no Miata.
With that said, everyone is entitled to their own reasons for their build, and that's what makes the world go 'round. I have no disrespect for Chevy powered (or any other) Cobras. If your shoes fit, wear 'em.

This says it all right here. I am going to stick with my gut and go with a BB. Thanks for all the replies, this was quite entertaining.
