FWIW,
I looked at the last batch of engines that I did for Cobras....
9 of them were BB's (FE's), 8 were SBF's. With the exception of two, all the small blocks were 427's and up.
I'm getting ready to start on an FE for 601HP right now that I will probably do a build thread on....it's going to be a spin-to-the-moon, underwear-striping machine.

RodKnock would say that most of your customers are brighter than the ones that are not.... |

When I was in college, I test drove a used twin turbo 300ZX at a used car dealership. Back then, I was into zippy forced induction engines....
Then the salesman told me something that stuck in my head:
A big-little man is pretty stout, but a big-big man is stouter.
If that needs translated into something besides southern-redneck (I'm from KY), it basically means that you can make a small block make big horsepower, but the big cubes will always win as far as having horsepower-making potential.
I'm still into zippy engines, I just like big, zippy engines. |

Thank you RodKnock for holding the floor me
No question the BB potential for HP is greater than SB, never in dispute, SB is limited to about 460 CID max, BB can go substantially higher.
As for zippy, there is Big Brother (BB) zippy, and his Smaller Brother (SB) zippier.
Good note to end on, anyone can start a new thread to discuss the zippy family further should they want to

If patrickt were here, he'd say that Football players are zippy, while male figure skaters are zippier.

Male figure skating? The analogy was a "figure skater", if memory serves your brain defaulted to Brian Boitano, me I like to watch the girls |
