big block vs. smal block
ok so i am getting mixed reviews on what is better.. i know to some its a opinion, or bigger is better.. but to others they would rather has the small block or whatever.. what would be a better route for the people who cant afford to build a badass motor and would like their car to run good but not be a complete slug..
I think this is agetting to be a big block VS small block thread. It's Not what he is asking.
Your answer is...
1. Don't touch the car if you don't have the money! just drive it and love it for what it is.
2. Save up and plan for what you want. When you think you have enough, Save up another $1500.
3. If you want a quick fix and get a pepy motor for a low buck buy a 360 and drop-er-in.
4. If you can spend lots of money than it just comes to personal preferance. ( built small block VS Built Big block.)
5. If you want a coolness factor that you can't get with a small block, then get a big block. I have a small handfull of cars, and nothing gets more attention than when I pop the hood on my 440 duster. I think Jim allready said his sons big block dart gets more attention than his nice 340 car. Its just a fact. the only thing that will call more attention to your car than a big block is a turbo or superchaged SB.
The question is what you want to do, and have for a car. You can get into a whole other debate when you ask how much it will cost....I say that because you say " the people that can't afford a badass motor..."
