I wouldn't even consider a SB these days..... It just didn't feel right for me
and the sound was not even close to the lopping of a BB...
Myth BB's run very hot and always over heat. I don't have that problem at all.
But you have to really drive one and decide for yourself " Than you can buy the BB. The slanted distributor through the scoop is also cool.
Thank the lord for the Big Block Ford ; Great saying
Good Luck with the car...

Thanks. Is yours iron headed? I talked to Jay at Vintage and told him what I wanted to do. I'm on a tight budget, but really want a New Backdraft. At first I was looking to only spend like 43K total with taxes when I put it on the road. So right now im at $40196 total shipped with taxes minus motor and trans. I'm trying to get both for under 10K and install it myself. When I mentioned to him he listened,but did say it was a tight fit and 98% of his customers put in small blocks. I asked how much to install it. He said $2000 for a small block and $3000 for a big block. I asked why so much more for a big block. He said it's a tight fit...??? So Im looking at new or a really nice used, but I don't see any Backdrafts with big blocks for sale.
