72 Scamp Pro Street Build

Regardless of motor size you will need to upgrade brakes and rear end. Bigger torsion bars and performance springs shocks! This is a cost regardless of which you choose a mild BB or a stout SB. You mention stroker SB well between a BB and a SB machining prices are going to be about the same. Both will need a good trans and good converter. Your going to need conversion mounts those are gonna cost either way. IMO the biggest differences will be... Cooling system and headers. Which for what you want those too will need upgraded regardless of what you choose. IMO you can reach 500hp in a stock stroke bb with good compression, cam selection, intake and carb. These are all things you would have to do to your small block but add in port work or alum heads and stroker kit. I do hear it cost more to go BB but really i dont think that is true. Anything you do suspension and brake wise needs to be done regardless.... BB is heavier yes but your already buying torsion bars. and last driveshaft you will need one of those. I gave $225 to my door for one. Well built and good price.
