Yep, these posts always get out of wack. LOL

Just do your homework and go for what is best for you. I will be the first one to say there is some flying small blocks on here. I will also say that in my experience, the BB is way more bang for the buck.

I am a novice, I don't have time/exeperience/or the money for all this exotic stuff I see all the time with SB's. Most of the guys doing small blocks have the knowhow and the means to get that stuff done.

Me, I picked some parts anyone can buy and assembled the dang motor. 5 seasons with 1996 440-1's still on the motor and I go mid 9's, on radials, through exhaust at 3380 race weight. I have not seen many comparable SB powered cars anywhere I go. They are all either way lighter or have way more motor than I do. I mean all the small block guys are stroking the motors so there must be something to the cubic inch thing.

The BB is just easier all the way around for me.
