So I've owned 2 small blocks and a 351 Cleveland which apparently is neither small block nor big block, but never a genuine big block. What am I missing out on? Is it the low down torque, different sound, more frequent visits to the gas station?
My 318 poly is pretty torquey and goes ok for what it is, but I have the horsepower bug and am always looking for more.
I'm thinking of slowly buying the parts and building a 440, and then doing the swap, maybe over a few years. I've never assembled an engine before but I like to learn new skills and I think it would be an achievement.
Good idea or not? Opinions welcome.
