Chevy engines are basically cheap horsepower.
In 1980 on the way down to the Long Beach GP, my buddy and myself stopped by to meet Steve Arntz about possibly buying a car. The car he had that we looked at was a SB Chevy and it looked nice. If I had bought one then, it would have had a BB Chevy in it. Hell, even when I bought this one, I was still thinking along the lines of a BB Chevy as I was familiar with them and how to get the HP out of them.

The way I look at this, is they are not original cars, so do what makes you happy.
