I like mine. It's easier on parts and cheaper to build power with a BBC. I'd never even consider putting a SBC back into the car.

I don't regret it, but my next street motor (this winter) is going to be a small block procharged ride (looking for 1000 hp on pump gas) Probably won't be a chevy though
