Re: To Big Block...Or Not to BBC.....

How much is budget driven?

One thing to consider, is the power steering setup and motor mount setup will run you nearly $1000 unless you can find a cheap donor truck somewhere.

Full disclosure, I just screwed together two different 427's. One for my 69 short, one for my 'vette.

Big block is cool if the budget isn't primary driver. And they are cheaper than they used to be by a long shot since everybody wants an LS.
