I got a bit of that back in the 80s-90s when I ran an all steel E-body 340 car that ran 11.0s and was quicker than most of the A-bodies running big blocks. But I agree it's cheaper to build horsepower with a big block, and the small block did require more maintenance. But it was fun
If it ain't broke ... you're not pushing it hard enough.
