    Glad to make your night... any engine can be blown up with the right idiot behind the wheel, but one thing i will guarantee is that the engine in the thread you mention didn't blow up because it was running at 170 degrees. There are more running small block Chevys out there with over 200k miles on them than there are experts to say they aren't any good.

    Youre absolutely right. They didn't become so popular or reach such high volume for no reason. You mentioned several of them right there. i'd say its a safe bet small block Chevys will rule the hot rod world for another 50 years for these same reasons.
