I recently bought a 32 roadster with a 502 Chevy. Runs and drives good.
Just curious if any of yall run a big block or most stay with a small block?

I had a'30 Model A sedan with a 454 & toploader 4-speed. Loved it and wish I still had it. It drove like a dream
Welcome to CHR! There's a lot more small blocks in the popular '28-'34 hot rods, but you'll see everything from soup to nuts. Even a few diesels out there! Saw a very, very nice roadster running a Lexus powertrain in NZ a couple of years back....
First off welcome and we would love to see some pictures of your ride.
Yup what Roger said, if you stick around here long enough I think you will find we have a couple of really good BBC guys who really know the ins and outs of those motors. You’ll also find that a lot of the members have gone different directions than the venerable Chevy motors.

Again welcome.

A big block with aluminum heads and intake isn't too much awfully heavy------at least in a today era hot rod the fuel tank has been moved to the back or under the car which moves quite a bit of weight off the front-one of the biggest issues will come from braking balance especially with big/little tires.http://www.clubhotrod.com/photopost/...VC-635F_1_.JPG
There are more pics of the construction of this 32 in my gallery - 4 or 5 page
Not sure how to post pictures yet, trying to figure it out
Thanks
