Cranky doesn't know what a big block is. Next thing he will be telling you is to destroke a 6 cylinder. The more torque any engine makes at any given rpm, especially on the bottom end, the more fun it is to drive. If he tells you it is more fun to rev the snot out of a small bloock to make power on the street, he is truely full of $hit. Oh, thats right, he doesn't know what street driving is all about.
