PLDRIVE, congrats on the numbers, sounds like fun. Regarding the big block vs small block thing, I think for some of the big block guys it comes down to the nostalgia of a 427 Cobra having an FE.
It does seem funny though that some of the big block crowd claims their cars are faster, sound better, and are similiar weights.
There are small block cars that will smoke a big block, and visa versa.
There are small block cars that sound better than a big block, and visa versa.
Apples to apples, a small block weighs less. If you're going to try and use an all aluminum big block to make your case, you need to compare it to an all aluminum small block.
Personally, I wouldn't want an FE, but I'm not as nostalgic as some others, my priorities are different. Cheers.
