Some guys like short busty blondes, and some guys like tall leggy brunettes. There's no "One size fits all" to this.

I still get a woodie with anything that says 454, or 455 on it, and was there when they could be driven off the showroom floor. Similar to Mr. Fixit, used to fix them as a sideline. Same with MGA's, MGB's, TR3's & 4's, Healys, and Sunbeam Tigers.

But a 3800# Chevelle, or 3600# Camaro, or a 3400# Vette appreciates the torque of the 454. The 2400# Cobra makes expensive smoke. And I'm not saying that this is undesirable, provided the builder/owner, meaning you, have assessed your driving requirements and have decided for yourself that this is what you want your finished car to do.

Guys with Vortec supercharged 302's and 331's are running the faster ET's at the drags. Guys with 351's and 393's are running faster times at the track where cornering and braking is important.

And the 351's and 393's make for good street cruising.

Bottom line, go out to some local events. Talk to some owners of SB and BB cars. Go for a ride or two. Then decide how you want to power your steed.

You see Cobras For Sale advertizing 600HP and wonder why the guy is selling it. We just don't want you to be one of them.
