Default Big Blocks are cool because they are just that

Justa6-

I agree that having big HP bragging rights does not necessarily translate into going fast.

You have stated your case well against us BB folks for your ability to get good HP per cubes AND apparently hooking up reasonably well.

But one day we will all discover the guy who puts a tweaked 2.3 liter Ford turbo 4 banger in his Cobra kit. Then he could use the same logic on your "huge" engine that you use on us BB guys-

I have 100 cubic inches less than your V6
I get better mileage than your V6
I make more HP per cubic inch than your V6
My engine weighs 100 lbs less than the Buick V6
I have better 60 ft and 1/4 mile times than your V6
I can beat you at the strip and the track

Dont' believe it? Check it out...there is more than one Pinto out there with one of these that run in the 10s.

Anyway, I am just a BBF guy having some fun.

John
