For looks and outright power, you can't beat a big block. However for everyday driving, occasional crusing and reliability, it's hard to beat a strong small block. Cost of parts, perf options, fuel mileage, parts availability, serviciability and handeling all lean towards a good small block. So, if it's a fun toy you want, go with a 454 with some NOS for umph. If you really want a reliable, nice every day driver----go with the small block and "get-er-done"
