You are certain to get plenty of opinions on this question with the big block versus small block people . I too crave the look of an engine bay stuffed with a big block. Our 460 has aluminum heads, intake, water pump,flywheel, even the center section of the 9" rear.

Also have manual steering and brakes with the suspension scaled. The limiting factors for road and drag racing with this car are the tires and a full support seat.

Your right about the big cubic inches making easy big power and torque that never ends.
We have always had a spare 460 engine (needs rebuilding) just in case. Funny thing is will probably never need it. Good luck in your search.
