big block vs. smal block

375inStroke said

The trans costs the same. The differential costs the same. Big blocks are cheap. I've gotten complete 440s for free on Craigslist. A V8 K-frame with discs are $200 to $250--same price if running a small block. B-body HP manifolds for $150. 340 manifolds go for $500 to $800 plus $130 for the drivers side gasket alone. Why were big blocks made in the first place?

In Seatle..Yes, But I am just north of the boarder of you, and the cost difference would be about $1000.

But you are not compairing manifolds to maniforlds. a BB manifold is $150 (where you live) but a 360 manifold is FREE. don't cmpair it to a 340 manifold. apples and orranges Bugs me when someone compairs a 340 to a 440. There are way more 440's than 340's better comparison is 440-360 or something like that.

Just depends on where you live too. depends the costs. BB manifolds up here go for $200-$500
