Looking for some suggestions

I have parts already for a Bb and that's just what I'd like to build.
I hear you.
Like AJ said in his post about the ups and downs with the positives of going with the small blocks, he is right.
Sort of.
Personally, my head says 408 Blueprint crate 408 (What's not to love with the fitment, power and the warranty?)
But my heart says big block.
I have always been a big block fan, and always will be.
However, bang for the buck, and ease of installation/weight/header fitment/ it would be a Blueprint 408 for sure.............
Good luck to you!
