Re: If you could build an engine any way you wanted to
My vote is for the big block. It just seems like it is hard to get any real credit/respect for making a sbc fast. Even when a guy has a small block running faster than a big block, the popular opinion seems to be that he has a lesser motor. Not that I build things for other people, but I've been on the camp of having the faster sbc car and not getting the recognition for the win. It can take a little of the fun out of it.
Situation seems worse these days with the sbc getting little respect since everyone is on the LS wagon.
Realistically for me, I like a car that gets driven hard on the street and can run respectable times on the track. The BB does it with a little more style and probably a little less effort (meaning it will be happier on the street).
Remind me, stick or auto?
