Just curious to see if somebody has a Big Block daily driver.

 

Nobody? I'm shocked. I thought for sure somebody would have a BBC daily driver.

 

There are some older builds that are still on the road. But people rarely do it these days. It is expensive, upsets handling with a lot of extra weight, and is a fuel hog. Those things are kind of at odds with what people want in a daily driver.

It took me 5 years to sell a new SFI flywheel for a 454. So that gives you an idea how popular it is any more.

The big block platform is still relevant at the drag strip. But the LS platform is a pretty badass jack of all trades street engine.

 

There was never a reason to swap in bbc for street cars that drive alot but i am sure someone has done it for a driver but most do it for hp and do not daily driver

i’m doin a big bbc that will be driven often during summer fall nice weather days but far from true daily

 

With the widespread popularity and easy availability and swap-ability of LS-series engines, a big-block swap for a street machine/daily driver has become pretty much irrelevant.

 

Not my daily driver but it is my street car - weekend cruiser. 1988 Camaro, 582 BBC, Procharger F1X, 4L80E. I haven't been able to calculate fuel mileage on it yet but it is a fun ride on the streets.

 

Nice!

 

Wow. Looks great.
