Apparently he thought it was a prop that I put in the car to purposely humiliate him. It was actually for my 4 year old daughter and was such a PITA to remove that I just left it in the car.

BB65Barracuda super stock B Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 926 MICHIGAN	Not trying to start anything but I used to run small block Mopar and they it ran in the early 11's high 10's but I had a lot of money into it. I built a 9.5/1 440 30 over with TRW flat tops, 452 cast iron heads with 2.14 1.81 and a bowl port and a 850 holley with a 727 and 430 gear and it ran 10.43 in the same car with very little tuning. It only cost me around 2500.00 and some used parts I acquired at swap meets. Its more a "the bang for the buck!" I loved my 340 notchback, it was a monster on the street. Its just cheaper to go fast with the Big Block. 1957 Power wagon wm300 original 10.000 mile truck, 1964 dodge Polara Convertible numbers matching

Shifting at 5600 and trapping a bit over 6k. Now running my dads Duster on the other hand... Always enjoyed running that car whether it was the low buck 360 (best of 10.91), or later the trouble plauged W5 mill (best of 9.87) it was just more fun to drive. It's too bad the W5 mill gave us fits cause we never did really get the car sorted out with it + we were only shifting around 6800. That combo had a bunch more in it. ....currently the old 360 has been freshened and is sitting in the frame rails. Other small block to replace the W5 fiasco is being formulated. I REALLY need to get out and work on it and get it running again...

I'd smile and say its a sb and they'd give me the look like...yeah ok.It ran a best of 9.58 but would run 60's allday anyday.As far as money it had tti headers,3.91 gears,full exhaust w a 950 holley.Truly nothing exotic,just a good combo.Same for my flat tappet cammed pumpgas 3200lb dart. I paid 8 grand from block to oil pan,it was fun runnin a 10sec car to mc donalds.The flat tappet motor sounded big w that idle..

But there were people who wouldn't give the car it's credit when credit was due. Even douche bag magazine editers with big block envy couldn't rap their tiny little heads around it.

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.
