Hi Jon and all,

Good to see someone in the Uk is still flying the smallblock flag!!!
Well done Jon!!!
Its all about cost as usual.
Its always been cheaper to build a trick Bigblock, many more parts available at realistic prices.
So whats the difference between a 500cube smallblock and a 500cube smallblock, probably about $5000 LOL!!!
You still end up with a 500cube engine and not much difference in weight I should think?
So in my mind mind smallblocks should stay around 360 cubes max and keep the revs up in the 7000-8000 range, just like a Nascar motor!
500cube in a 400block is the best set-up, or Monster 440block motor.

Just my 10pence worth of input.
Bacca.

Hi Bacca

I need to come and see you soon

Anyway, the difference between a 500 c.i. smallblock and a 500 c.i. smallblock is nothing

It`s not easy the s/b stuff but enjoyable

You off to Shakey this weekend ??
