There's a time or place for each. And there's a debate where each makes sense. Take, for instance, my Ramcharger. The 318 has self changing oil. I pour oil in the valve cover and it pours at all the other leaking gaskets. I have an LA 360 sitting on an engine stand in my garage. Dollar for dollar the 360 makes sense to build for my truck. I have to pull the 318 anyway just to be able to re-gasket it. I'd never be content with doing that... a rebuild would be in order. So, why not go with the engine with more torque, dollar for dollar, in a truck?
You put a Magnum 360 in your E-body. Like I said, there's a time and place.
As for the B vs RB argument... I like my 383. I've like the 440's I've owned. I like what I like.
Like I said above. For all those who are telling you how to build your car, tell 'em to go buy one of their own and build it the way they want to.
