When you think of small block and big block, what are you thinking of exactly?
AL427SBF has a well-established bias towards small blocks because big blocks are too expensive, too heavy and handle like pigs, rev slowly, and often explode when rev'ed over 5,500 RPM, when compared to small block engines.

Patrick has a well-established bias towards BBF's in Cobras, because kids will cry when they see a SBF under the hood of a 427 Cobra.

You just have to realize these opinions going into EVERY small block versus big block decision thread.
