Engine Choice

[STL Mark]

Excellent advise Xcalibur!

I have tell everyone - in between posts - I decided to tell my wife about my confusion re: SB vs. BB. I thought that she would have no idea - and just say whatever. Boy was I wrong. I'm sure you guys are all aware that sometimes "THE Cobra" can be a touchy subject around the house. I was pretty sure she was getting sick of me talking about it every day - UNTIL tonight!

So - I tell her the specifics about my engine confusion (just like my original post) - she listened quietly - then tells me that she would regularly race guys when she was a kid (1980's). She had an old Trans Am (big block) that had significant work - she said those small bock guys would always beat her off the line - but she would always blow their doors off by the end of the race. (She had a Shelby Mustang when she was 16 too!)

She said - "Go for the big block - they sound better anyway - like a Harley - and when you're just cruisin around town - isn't the sound - just as important as anything else?" She continued - get it built right - get it the way you want. You guys on this forum are way cool - but Damn she's awesome. Married 20 years - never knew she was a RACER!
