Should big blocks go in A bodys?

I'm not arguing that a big block a body is awesome and has a potential to be very fast it better be it seems like it would be pretty embarrassing to get shut down by a small block. I love B and R Bs mainly just for the strength of the blocks
I don't think it would be embarrassing at all. IF you have a mild 440 in a A-body that runs low 12's and somebody has a wild small block that runs 10's, you lose. Can't let pride stand in the way of owning/building what you want. I guarantee you there are plenty of stock 340's that would get beat by my 318. But what's that mean? Nothing, really
