Not Ranked
I think most of the guys around here emphasize the point that you should "build it to your taste", and that the motor doesn't matter.
However, there are a few purists like me who think that an FE big-block goes in a 427 Cobra, and a small-block belongs in a 289 Cobra. But, I push a bit of hypocracy with my own car, as my FIA has a 351W powerplant in it versus the correct 289. Oh well, at least it's a smallblock...
You'll get thousands of opinions as to which is better and why, but when the kid on the street, or the guy with his girlfriend asks "Does it have a big-block??", don't you just want to say "Damn tootin' it does", instead of "No, but here's the laundry list as to why the small-block is better.???
