So I was getting heck on another post about BB vs SB so I'll start my own. Say you wanted to make 550-600 HP. Say you had a limited budget and you wanted to make a decnet reliable bracet car that you wanted to drive more than just to the track. Would it be easeier/cheaper say with a Small Block 360 (which I know can be made fast) or a Big block 440. You may toss in 340's 383's, Hemis and the like if you like. For S & G's we'll say the car weighs 3400lbs. A light B-body or heavy A-body.

What you state about the weight I would NEVER do... I can
make make a light car easier and cheaper than making
HP so IF I had my choice it would be a light car
and a SB.... hell if your talking a 10.40 car I can
do it with 400 HP and not be breaking the bank OR
the engine and be a great bracket car
