my personal bias is against big blocks however: i prefer smaller blocks because i personally prefer higher revving engines that feel "lighter" than how big blocks typically behave.
no offense meant to anyone - just my personal taste - wouldn't have mentioned it but patrickt called me out.

Generally speaking big blocks cost more than small blocks but the real issue is the body. You wouldn't put a big block in a slabside or FIA and you probably shouldn't put a small block in a 427 S/C. |
