    Good point, RJ/CJ!! I like big cubes too, but to say that is the only way to go is a bit narrow minded. Some folks like the smaller cube motors. I've personally owned some very hard charging small blocks in Mustangs, Mavericks, and Pintos. Lots of folks only want decent power, and don't want the big cubes, heavy front weight and poor gas mileage. I suppose for those with unlimited funds the big blocks are very worthwhile. Others opt for lighter cars with good handling and respectable fuel mileage. I've had both and have learned to let the proposed use of the car dictate the size of the engine!!! JMO

    Heck, some people think chebby is the only engine built!!! To me such narrow minded thinking doesn't allow them to play with a lot of other good combinations....
