Big horsepower 318 builds

Why does it matter people do all kinds of things for all kinds of reasons, why build /6 or 273 or 318 or any small block for that matter why ford guys build 289/302 or chev guys build 283/327 or LS 4.8l/5.3l, why build anything smaller than a 440 since it's readily available and the biggest factory displacement and be able to be built to over 540 cid ?

Why build a 408 when we have 400 and 440 even a overbore 383 is close in displacement and with a 440 crank is bigger than 4" stroked sbm?

I guess I've always wanted to get the most out of my money, that's why I build strokers. To each his own.

Have you ever had an A body with a 440 in it? I have and IMHO a small block makes for a much better combo in one. My small block can hold it's own.

BTW if it's so easy to make Big horsepower with a 318, where are they all at?
