I think I saw this coming and I also think this may be a long thread and even some neebies will get in on it...bjuice must have served and ace...But alas I am sure a "little block" will chime in if we listen closely..

I'm a small block guy from the day I was born. Now the motors I build and run are all SBC. I've never built a BBC. It just fun when people ask me what our cars run and I tell them what the ET'S are and they say BIG BLOCK???? NOOOOO SMALL BLOCK. I will say and the end of the day Big blocks are gunna be faster. But there is nothing like a 10,000 rpm small block stick car to wake you up. You can tell when they do there burn out. I've beat a lot of big blocks at the track and on the street and it is a sweet feeling.

We've had a 615 cu in motor and ran 8.50's in a 3500lb and a 355 cu in motor and ran 9.30's in a 3500lb car. These were all motor. The cost is like night and day. It's a lot cheaper to build and maintain a 355 motor. Nothing at all against big blocks. I love em both.
Just my opinion guys and what I have experienced in my racing days.

Brian I think what he said was he's going to give you two lights pat you 2 time and slow down at the end to see if you can catch up. I don't know I am still getting my suit on.

hey, I started with small block years ago, they are great, and there is nothing like a chevy 302 singing at the top end, but, as brian said, the tork of the big block, and stick a 12-71 and a birdcatcher, spin it 20 over, it sings nicer than the small block, and makes you wonder what the heck nitous is... :lol:
but whatever it takes to go fast and have fun, thats what makes this hobby/sport so great....
big blocks for me......
