Big to Small Block?
Here's situation. I have a 68 Camaro that was originally a 396. I am the 3rd owner and it now has a 454. I just finished the suspension and brakes and next is motor and tranny. Is it against some unspoken rule that I shouldn't convert it to a small block? This car will be my daily driver and I am thinking of a 383 or a little bigger. I'm thinking 400-500hp will fill my needs. At the onset of the rebuild I told myself 400 will do. I'm not planning on dragging the car, maybe some autocross and open track days occasionally. I have been pricing out BBC’s and it almost doesn’t seem worth the ha$$le to build one when a small block will fill my needs.
Also, is it as simple as changing out the motor mounts to put in a small block?
I appreciate your opinions.
Nick
