The small block is inexpensive to work on, and can build a whole lot of power, with a quick power band. Kind of the bang for the buck. The big boy is a lot more torque for stock, and I feel lasts longer for the power produced. The wrap is slower and top end rpms is not as high, But oh what a sound from the pipes!!!! The BB is alot heavier as well, and not always as easy to install. I like them both, but I think in the end the BB is my favorite.
