big block vs. smal block

I am told that you can make a 360 more powerful than a BB and have the weight savings..360s are still plentiful and you can get just abount anything (power wise) for them..my vote 360 :)

That all depends how much money you want to spend on the SB, but I'll guarantee ya that if you spend the same amount on the BB there is no comparison. I've built 600 HP BB's that can be driven on the street. It takes some doing to keep from melting down the street tires but it can be done as long your gas tank is big enough and you've got a well thought out engine cooling system. Now with the stroker kits available off the shelf the skies the limit, it just comes down to how much do you want to spend. That's twice I said that I guess it's for a good reason. Sadly it's not what you put under the hood that makes or breaks a build it's everything else that must be in balance to put the HP/Torque to the ground. Stuff like suspension, tranny, stall converter, rear gears and traction setup (eg. caltracs) and don't forget the tires and brakes cuss at some point in time ya got to stop her.:toothy10:
