Big to Small Block?

[68sixspeed]

well I like big blocks, but I have to disagree with Josh- at 625hp my small block is still very streetable, I drove 600 miles round trip in one weekend to go to Maple Grove PA from CT, never ran over 185 degrees, idled in traffic, and didn't get passed. I followed it up with a day trip to NH the next week, 350-400 miles round trip, same deal, no drama.



If you build it with the right stuff and enough cubes, a 600hp normally aspirated small block is very streetable and with good parts it is reliable. (i.e. shaft rockers, pressurized lifters, etc.) Now, bang for the buck, 600hp on a big block is a lot cheaper to achieve than 600hp on a small block. -Dan
