Less weight is a lot more fun than more HP. Go with a high hp small block.

everybody talks about the deep throaty sound of a BB. Why would a 427 SB sound different from a 427 BB? Same size combustion area in each cylinder, same charge . . . I don't understand

Because the harmonic resonance is different in a big block, regardless of whether the combustion chamber size is the same, or even smaller, than that of a small block. |

I thought it was the extra mass of the huge rotating assemble, coupled with the extra air swirling in the cavernous block, along with pumping all the oil, and not to mention all the extra friction, just made it work harder. All that extra grunt gives 'em a different sound.  |
