I'm a big block man though and though, you just can't beat the torque that even a stock big block will make. Both mine and my dads trucks have exactly the same drive train except the motor. I've got a mild 350 hes got a mild 454, both turbo 400 , both 4.56 diff gears, both 33" tall rear tyres, his truck will not only out accelerate mine but he gets better fuel ecomony because the 350 has to work harder to maintain speed and the 454 with its torque doesn't.
I've just brought a cheap rebuilt 454 that i'll be putting in in the next month or so, and soon enough they will both be getting gear vendors o/d. These are both daily drivers
Big Blocks rule and theres definitely no replacement for displacement
