Best small block engine I ever had was back in junior college...had a '55 Chevy with 4.56 gears...roller/solids Chev 327, that engine was something else. Became a self-taught expert in rebuilding BW T10 trannies...the torque differential on the 1-2 powershift was b-i-g. The LS6 in my Z06 sounds and behaves very similarly...not much torque (at least compared to my boat anchor Contemporary engine) but my oh my it wakes right up at 4,000 and screams to redline. Like the fella said a few posts earlier, don't see the need to be a flat-out Ford or Chevy guy...both have their virtues depending upon the application.
