Re: Sbc or bbc?
Stick with the smallblock. A 396 is the baby of big blocks and with decent heads, the 383 will smoke it. Biggest problem with the 396 is it's tiny bore - valves are too close to cylinder walls for decent breathing. If you're going to spend the coin on a big block, get a good 2-bolt 454 block, Scat cast crank and Scat rods, open chamber 781 or 049 heads, small dome pistons, and buy stock in a tire company, you'll need it.
