Man, That's a lot. Wow wee I had no Idea.
A big block is much more fun on the street. A 428 or stroke 427 FE has all the torque in at low rpm. Nothing wrong with a small block if you want to run 4.11 gears and keep your engine at 6000+rpm
And to let you guys who have not had a stock stroked 427 FE know.
It has the torque of a big block and revs like a small block.
I couldn't give a hoot what engine someone chooses, just make a decision on what you are going to use the car for. Street cruisin' or track.
But one thing I do ask is make sure you have at least 400+ HP so as not to ruin the reputation of these awesome cars.
Just my opinion.
