He laughed and boasted he had a 66 Vette. So I nailed it. He turned white as a ghost, asked me to stop and walked back to the house. Even though it was fun, I liked the 289. More street-able, better on the track. Don't worry what other people think, they don't write the checks!
My current project is a 427 car. What's going in it? After a long debate, I decided to use the small block parts I had laying around. Specs are, 331 stroker, all forged internals, Z304 heads, T&D shaft rockers, webers. I know it is a big block car, but my goal is to get it on the road and start enjoying it. I don't care if someone gives me $hit about the small block.
The car will ultimately get an aluminum 427. But I will enjoy the car while squirreling away money for it.

I agree.
This is my first Cobra build and all I want is to have a good running, street-able small block. I don't worry about what other people may say or think, I'm building this car to please one person - ME!
If I decide to go with a BBF (which I may in the future), I'll still have a Cobra to drive while saving up money for the big block.
