Re: Small block or Big Block

If you really want something different and don't mind spending a bit more $, go with a Caddy 472/500. They make loads of torque and are all high nickel content so they don't require much block machining. Usually just a hone and go. They also tend to get slightly better MPG than a BBC with a similar cam profile.
