If you are building a new rod. Why would you go with a small block or big block? My first thought is that you always go with the big block, cause its bigger and stronger and more powerful. But of course you can get a lot (and probably plenty) of horses out of the small block.

Do people just start with small blocks cause they have a core from the wife's impala? Or do they buy a new small block cause they prefer them? Why would you start with a smaller engine?

so true deuce.....btw, beautiful rods you have there. Anyway, on my way home after running on the dyno I broke the ol m-21 muncie. Doesn't that just figure! lol. At least it was just as I was pulling into my driveway so no tow bill. Just more money
