    My favorite SB Chevy is the 350 . They work great in a every day car or truck . But can be made into real power houses street or strip engines . The 327 is also a great fast winding and reliable engine .

    I Like the 383, 406,420 and 434. Thet all have lots of torque at low end and up to 5500 rpm.

    I would vote for the 327-365 horse smallblock. That was the basis of many of my own performance projects for 20 years. In a Nova or Corvette the motor could handle most hipo big blocks. I found it to be tough, powerful, and reliable.

    When I worked at a Midwestern Chevy dealer in the late sixties, the local sprint car racers would add a Vertex mag, Hilborn injection, and a roller cam to a crate motor, and have a highly competitive engine!

    I love this!! Really this is good, Denny and Dave got it right. If sbc's didn't
    need the cranks turned so often, nobody would have invented one (391)
    at least the real one had a steal crank
