Small block has no easily usable aftermarket aluminum block, yet costs only a little less to build than a hemi...Hence, I built a hemi. Not to mention, the hemi adds value to the car. And talk about high winding...Shift a hemi up at 8400rpm, and tell me about your small block again. http://s427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357...emiMov00451.flv Last edited by Dragula; 01/10/09 11:17 AM.

Small blocks seem to turn up pretty good and stay together. Maybe not make as much power but I can play another day . 6.50 @105.26

I also do more than just go straight. I like to corner well as well. But for balls to the wall all out race, big block is king. But still, its fun to beat a big block with a small block.

It just seems, dollar for dollar, anything over 600hp, and the price difference is neglegable. And the BB wedge engines are cheaper than both.

Now it is stroked to 421 inches and makes more tourqe than my 440.Maybe the best answer is a small block that thinks it is a big block! www.dunnuckracing.com

But.....just to satisfy my curiousity I've also got big blocks and a slant six to boot. Besides as a very "friendly" lady once told me as a young man, "It's not the size of the wand, but the magic you make with it." If You Can't Be Good, At Least Be Colorful

The other thing is what exactly defines small and big? just based off of what it started life is because it seems like more and more "small" block guys are running strokers to make more cubic inch Its all good because what would winter be without the BB VS SB thread.

There were no edelbrock heads and no 440source when I built it. Would of cost a fortune back then to build a 440. So now that I have a 408, I can't complain. It's a 10 second pump gas motor through the mufflers, power steering, brakes and it was my daily driver for several months. Nowadays I think it would be better to build a big block for the price.

Mopars are at a disadvantage when it comes to big block power, both in cubic inches and head flow. So, would'nt it be easier to compete with a small block?

I still think 1300+ is there with more cam timing, and some more cam. Where small blocks just can't go LOL. Not even the best pull, just what I have with me now.
