I see your point but WHY would you go that route if you could do it with less stall and gear? Maybe the post should be which costs less to build... anyway both will work just a matter of how you want to get there.

Why would you go that route? Because not everybody wants a low rpm high tourqe big block and NO the post shouldn't be which one cost less to build... this post is about 500hp big and small blocks geared and convertered to take advantage of the engine package. Maybe I should have posted which one is more EFFICIENT that really gets you big block guys panties in a wad.
