"As far as FE and stroked small block, the small block will rev much much quicker, probably require less maintenance and be a more durable engine assuming a Dart block."

That is a general statement, with no qualifiers. It's not correct.

There was no mention of which small block. Which big block? What flywheel? What compression ratio? What cam?

Too many variables to make a blanket statement like that.

So based on your own experience of driving 1000's of each, that's the conclusion you've come to? Because I will admit that I haven't driven, built, or probably even looked at 1000's of each, but from my own experience, that is not the "general rule of thumb" that I've seen.
