    Small block for a daily driver. Smaller, lighter, handle better, and better mileage.

    As much as I love big block Fords, I have to agree with the guys. In this particular car the dimensions and weight will make it not as good of a fit as the small block. Even if you trim some weight with aluminum heads and intake, these babies are still BIG.

    Plus, that C6 doesn't leave much room under the floorboards, compared to a C4 or AOD.
