What or why to build

I've noticed when people ask for advice on a build, people tend to try and steer a person in a different direction. Sometimes you want to build a car just because it's what you want. It doesn't always have to be about how much money. Or how much horsepower for dollar you'll have. I'm a big block junky big time!! I do love and respect a small block. I'm always impressed with some of these 408 builds. The power and torque is awesome. But sometimes you just want a certain wow factor. It doesn't matter if you want a 4 bbl or duel quads, a blower or a HEMI. As long as your happy with what you have. I think some people are hung up on numbers and power to weight ratios. I have my 64 Dart with a 360. It goes great but I can't stop about thinking about dropping in my 383 I have. Yes for the money I can build a 408 for close to building my 383 or my 383 will cost the same as a 440. I don't care, I want what will give me a woody when I slip behind the wheel or stare at my car like a hot chick! To me it's not the money it's the love.

Am I'm alone on this?????
