So go ahead, pick up that boring 350 block for a song and then let the creative juices flow. And when you see one in someone elses ride, don't make the mistake of assuming it is just another boring Chevy. Their reply might make you feel pretty silly. | So go ahead, pick up that boring 350 block for a song and then let the creative juices flow.

| + | What's not to like about a SBC. Good power to weight ratio, rear sump, a ton of aftermarket parts available, and both motor and parts are as economical as it gets. They are the most common engine, cause it makes the most sense. | ||
| + | Seems like all the people knocking them have the same complaints "They're everywhere" "Tired of looking at em" "No imagination" etc. | ||

If you're building an 80k trailer queen for the purpose of winning trophys, you should spend more money and jump through more hoops to have something unique under the hood. Bragging rights, you know. But if you're building a hot rod to have fun, put a SBC in it. | ||
