Good post by Grumpyvette on Chevytalk. For the excess power levels we want our small blocks to produce.... why not just build a BB for less money, and have more potential in the future?

He is very right in many ways lol, i myself have about $4500 in my sb383 and right now im having my fogger system put on so thats anouther 900 so almost 5500 bucks, but i no how its built and i have built it a piece at a time bec i dont got 6k laying around for a crate engine, but im building a bbc next with alot more spray but i wish i would have built one in the first place lol.

You have to have a car that you can put the big block into. Sure you can do it with a thirdgen but there is a reason that it isn't prevalent. It is a learning experience and I certainly would like to have a big block car to play with in the future.

And then there is the fact that if I were to build up a big block I would probably start upgrading parts like I did on the small block and spend EVEN MORE. hehe

btw, welcome to the crew NathanJ If you haven't already done so (I am old and forget!) post up about yourself and your car.

I've seen a couple of 455 pontiac v8's in 3rd gen firebirds there a tight fit alil bigger than the sbc and a lil smaller than the bbc and you can get alot of expensive power out of them. i had a 79 t/a with the 455 pontiac v8 in it. with one non fowler in cylinder 4 i was able to do 15's in a qtr.
