Big Blocks And Smallblocks
#1
Hey, before you replace this thread ni a diff section, i dont mean it as a serious thread but i got into an arguement with my friend and he's telling me smallblocks and big blocks are no different other than gas mileage, just as easy to tune, and have the same reliability.
I say differently but i really dont know that much as domestic engines are completely out of my element. Anyways help me out with any info you guys might have.

This is one of those topics that can be discussed until the sun comes up. If you want your boinger to turn, use a well-built SB, if you just want to go straight or you've got a truck, go for the BB.

mmmmm 454 BB..
Yup.. Gas mileage I guess would suck.. heck stock they were getting like 11 or less.. A bored out small block might spend less but I think there are so many variables since cams and carbs can also play a role in that..

1/2 Chevy, 1/4 Ford and 1/4 MOPAR guy here. Big Blocks in most muscle cars handle even worse than their Small Block counterpart, but thr BB makes LOTS more power. Bigger heads=better flow=engine better pump
