sb vs BB

gipperco said

Well my wife is going to be the driver of the car. HER dream is to have a straight axle and a blower in it to compete with the A/FX cars at our local track. I have told her that the 74 isn't the right year car for that era of car/set up. She says that she just wants to be able to race them and have a chance of competing. They are in the mid 8's. I would be happy with the car in there too. Realistically probably no blower and in the low to mid 9's

I like how your wife thinks

I had a 440 and auto for my car and then decided that it would be easier to put ps on a SB car and it would drive better than the BB.

So I built my 340 instead of the 440....................WHAT A DAMN MISTAKE............excuse the caps. The 440 would have had better power and easier to do. And if I didn't mind throwing away all the stuff I have already done I would put tube front end, coil overs, R&P and either a new hemi or a BB. But I did this starting in the mid 90's and there wasn't as much in aftermarket parts for A bodies then

If you want a reliable race car I would suggest the BB. If you are building a street strip car and want a better driver maybe a SB.
