I just feel like it’s a better match for the intended use(chugging along on the street with a manual trans with modest gearing), and I like aluminum heads with good quench for pump gas.
I like different opinions, (and value yours quite a bit) thanks. I think in his other thread he mentioned wanting a “hot street” engine and the number 500hp was thrown around. Seems like a lofty goal for unported Eddie’s on a 9.8-10:1 360 IMHO.
