Should I go Big block or Small block?
I have both small block and big block A-Bodies. The other side of the big block is the instant torque that fries the tires and requires other suspension upgrades to get it all to the ground and can kill and 8 1/4 rear in a heart beat. The 360 with a 904 has so many advantages even as a stock 2bbl engine in an A body that it is hard to argue as an all around choice that anything else would be a more reliable driver friendly combination. If you wanna fry tires and show off put in a big block. If you want a fast easy to maintain well mannered street car go with a 360 or 340. I actually voted for the 318 with weisco flat tops and J heads!
