Decision making was never my strong point...HELP lol

Never said you can't get decent mileage from a big block. It all just comes down to what he wants from the car. I personally prefer small blocks. Easier to work on, less weight over the nose, simpler swaps...that's just my 2 cents. :)

I agree. I love small blocks. Had a ton of them, but if I do another one, it will be a big block simply to do something different.
