big or small?

What does everybody think is the best, big block or small block? It seems to me chevy guys like the small blocks, I run a big block ford because of parts availability around here. If you dont really have a answer just throw out some B.S. thats what I do.

still same thing. weight and torque. fords generally weigh more and it takes a lot more money to build a 500c.i sb ford. which a sb chevy can't do without useing a aftermarket block. so it might just be a money thing. that and the parts availability of chevy parts. my theory if i ever get the time to do it is. build as lite as possible and put in something that has the ability to rapp quick (big c.i short stroke).

we like our sbc. but like you that's just what we had laying in the garage. my uncle runs a bbc and thats what he likes. i think it just depends on which one you like.

Are we going to see the Rockabilly truck this wear? Surely he will get that bad boy out a few more times this year, once ain't enough.

That sucks, the run off between him and Full Throttle a couple of years ago in Litchfield was fun to watch. But a new truck is always cool!!
Any body know what is up with the Full Throttle truck.
