360 vs 383

I know you know this, but the small block's have 4 more bolts, coolant, top radiator hose, bypass hose, and I've never had a problem re-using the intake gaskets on the BB's. I like both engines, but this is just a fact.

Yes, I agree, the distributor is in the way on a BB vs SB, but when distributor work is needed, the BB has the better position in my opinion. But if no service is needed, i like it in the back like a SB

lol, come on. I said 6 extra bolts but it’s 4.

How long does it take to undo two hose clamps?

As far as the distributor being up front, you still have to deal with the fact that to run a rear sump pan the suction side of the pump is a mile away from the sump.

I get it that many think there is some trick **** with the BB but when you apply logic and experience it becomes evident it’s not what it’s cracked up to be.
