sb vs BB

WildCat said

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.

No offense but, if you were really that disapointed in your SB, then it wasn't built or tuned right, i've just got through installing a low budget magnum 360 in my dart, it gets my attention, this is after being used to a 10 second BB i had in my duster & raced it for 2 yrs., even back then when i was raceing my duster, i hopped in a buddies 70 dart with a no thrills 360, that car too got my attention, tuneing is key, i've gotten my *** stomped at the track by SBs, most were chevy's because there wasn't many mopars where i raced, heck, even some of the BB chevy's weren't impressive. I've built both (mostly A bodies), what i've found is if you keep the weight down, you'll be way better off with a SB, i don't know where you went wrong to be so disapointed, but don't blame it on the SB.
