Big Inch Small Block

Big blocks suck *** to change spark plugs on and are still heavier......race block for me 90% of the time and the one that isn't has a short fill.
Agreed, wouldn’t want to have to deal with the packaging. I know many people do it, but I drive mine quite a bit so the easier regular maintenance is to do the better.
Not sure what the Ritter weighs, but unless you machine a bunch of weight out of the R block it is 40 lbs? more than a stock LA.
Wish there were more current info on the Ritter block from people using them. Would like to get a race block to build, but the only thing that seems to be left are the 48 degree ones and the Ritter.
