Big block or Small block
 

this is the debate we have had on our forum,so lets see how close this actually is on this forum,the votes were sort of "tainted"by a one(camaro74454)he loves the big blocks and im a small block guy,i dont care if i was filthy rich, im still a small block guy,i like power from the unexspected.....

ill run a poll,if you have info on why,post it up :D

Hahahaha, silly fool you will lose here even more then there...They don't play here...Welcome to the home of the big boys...This is going to be great.....oh I voted Big Block.

Bigger Big blocks are better than small big blocks so small blocks dont compare. Plus a big block just sounds better. :shock:

ha ha ha ..i love it..the oldest debate in history of racing..almost as good as Chevy vs Ford..
i was a small block guy all my life until 4 years ago and mind you i am into my 40's...well i got my 1st BBC (511 CI) and fell in love...this thing will pull effortless compared to my older small block's.....since then i have aquired a 632 all aluminum Big Block Big chief Motor..sheet metal intake with a pair of Chuck Nugtten dominaters....Although i have not run this motor yet i did watch it run in a 3300 lb vette with a 410 gear and 33 inch talls tires on a PITIFUL TRACK and it ran a 5.01et at 142mph...

keep in mind i have a 2100 lb car and a 4.30 gear...SO WHAT WILL IT RUN ???????


i did have one of the baddest ( my opinion) steel headed small blocks alcohol injected motors on the east coast a couple of years back..it made 1,000 hp at 9% over drive and could have been squeezed a little more...


so there is no replacement for displacement..i am a BBC man for life.

this is my dream motor...

i like the sleepers,my 6 banger runs with most big blocks,and its untuned...(of course it took out my camaro to :D )but it wont happen again...

im guessing your car is going to be a monster,so make sure to vote for small block :lol: at least for old time sakes...

To late..he voted...Why not pick the TT big block there?...
Man you'r losin 4to 1 I love it....See I told you once you go big block you never look back.

I like big little 'uns...

I kind of like RAT poison myself! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't know there. One race I was at, there were a couple old Ford Thunderbolt look alikes racing. I swear they were leaving the tree at 10K. Sounded wicked as hell. Almost makes a Chevy guy drool. :shock:

SMALL BLOCK GUY---THE SURPRISE IN THERE EYES IS WELL WORTH IT!!!- :P :P --I HAVE HAD SBF/SBC/SBM/BBC/BBF/BBM---THEY ARE ALL GREAT BUT WHEN MY SBF TURNED 8000 RPM'S/THE SOUNDS ARE GREAT---SAME WITH THE SBC THE SOUND IS GREAT---I HAVE LOST TO BIG BLOCKS AT THE TOP END 1/4 MILE :roll: :roll: BUT NOT ALWAYS---RACERS CHOICE!!!!---BUT THEN I AM A FORD MAN :lol: :lol:

Small blocks all the way. Big blocks are for towing. LOL! :lol:

i love your thinking :lol: looks like we are tied up... :D

Tommy I have had SBC all my life and never had a BBC till now but I think I will be a BBC man for the last half of my life. 565" RMRE ALL THE WAY.

I voted little block, but then I'm already a mutant here because I'm a Ford guy.

Murff

Man we need some more big block votes... I'm bringin blade over.

Since my user id kinda gives it away as to my vote I will wait to see if we need a tie breaker :lol: but I also have some bad "little blocks" :P ...

With all the big blocks I thought this would be a clean easy win.....silly little small blocks, we'll come from behind.

OK...who wants to get into some serious bench racing here BBC vs SBC..i am ready !!!!...BRING IT ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'LL SERVE 1ST...

I will give any small block on this thread the back tires and the leave..and pat on you 3 times before we go thru the traps !!!..how about that..SMALL FRYE'S......lmao... :D :D :D :D :) :) ...

ohhh i didn't say pat on you 3 times...owwwwwwww that hurt...lol

brian

I will let the small block guy's leave before I get my suit on.

owwwwwwwww..that stings...LMAO

I think I saw this coming and I also think this may be a long thread and even some neebies will get in on it...bjuice must have served and ace...But alas I am sure a "little block" will chime in if we listen closely..

I'm a small block guy from the day I was born. Now the motors I build and run are all SBC. I've never built a BBC. It just fun when people ask me what our cars run and I tell them what the ET'S are and they say BIG BLOCK???? NOOOOO SMALL BLOCK. I will say and the end of the day Big blocks are gunna be faster. But there is nothing like a 10,000 rpm small block stick car to wake you up. You can tell when they do there burn out. I've beat a lot of big blocks at the track and on the street and it is a sweet feeling.

We've had a 615 cu in motor and ran 8.50's in a 3500lb and a 355 cu in motor and ran 9.30's in a 3500lb car. These were all motor. The cost is like night and day. It's a lot cheaper to build and maintain a 355 motor. Nothing at all against big blocks. I love em both.
Just my opinion guys and what I have experienced in my racing days.

Bjuice & Woodsman, I'll accept, if you come down here. Too broke to travel...

nothing like hearing those CRICKETS on that Big RAT motor...

Brian

this is what like to call the big block killer :lol:

Brian I think what he said was he's going to give you two lights pat you 2 time and slow down at the end to see if you can catch up. I don't know I am still getting my suit on.

hey, I started with small block years ago, they are great, and there is nothing like a chevy 302 singing at the top end, but, as brian said, the tork of the big block, and stick a 12-71 and a birdcatcher, spin it 20 over, it sings nicer than the small block, and makes you wonder what the heck nitous is... :lol:
but whatever it takes to go fast and have fun, thats what makes this hobby/sport so great....
big blocks for me......

and the sound of 'Crickets' linger on............................................ole Tom where are you our BBC brother in arms...

And this would be a small block killer...
