well i think it is not but i could be wrong. i build a fair amount of BBC and it not the end of the BBCfar from it there more HP parts made for them and still on the top of one of the best built engine s in stock form. if that was not the case no one would make blocks, cranks, rods, pistons,cams. you can build one from 427to 632 or buy one with all new parts not one part made by GM done its a phone call away .i have built them ... flat head was not . i will say its more like the new sport compact turbo 4 bangers and the V8 guys right now that would be like the old flat head guys may have felt?? seeing that they are hear to stay but guys still build V8s. i like the bbc so i keep building and machining them for customers and me thats not going to change . but i am seeing more of the smaller 4 cylinder engine work and thats ok to.
