Motor Decision Suggestions

[Mr. B]

I'm planning on putting a new motor in my Camaro in the near future. I've been looking at the World Products motors. What I'm struggling with is whether to put in a big block or a small block. I'm looking for a little over 500 hp, and all the torque I can get. Most small blocks peak out around 500 ft-lbs, while a strong big block will be over 500 ft-lb throughout most of the rpm range. I'll mainly be driving it on the street with a few track days here and there. I'm putting in an Art Morrison subframe, and will run aluminum heads, so the weight of the big block doesn't concern me. Any opinions would be greaty appreciated.

We've got a 650 hp 427 LS7 ready to run package available. A bunch lbs lighter than a bbc with alum heads.
Idles at 850 rpm, grandma could drive it to the grocery store.

500TQ will break the tires loose in an early Camaro either way.

If handling, track days, and street tires are on the menu, go with a stroked small block. Balance.
