dizuster and I think alike. No way you can start from Penny one and build a 10.0 small block for the same cost as a BB, especially if you are running a b-body. And like he also mentions SB tend to need more gear, RPM and converter than BB, making them less drivable.
The only SB I'd consider using in a B-Body would be a boosted Gen III Hemi....and I'm seriously looking at that route. Of course I'll have to break this 440 1st.
