Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

the small block is the swiss army knife of the engines out there
you can buy any performance part under the sun for it to make it do just about anything and do it cheaply too

it will take forever for the small block to die out
even now that production of the small block has stopped at chevrolet
because there so many parts made for it allready it will take that long for those parts to wear beyond economical repair
ad to that the fact you can still build them from scratch with the parts available in the aftermarket

personally i think for the price per horsepowe a stock but turbocharged and tuned LS engine has it beat

but i agree the small block is still is best for starting intoo hot rodding or wrenching in general

the truck now has a 305 small block in it
if the registration didnt say inline 6 and if it would be so hard to have the truck reregistered as a V8 while still keeping its classic status
i would be plunkin a LS type engine in it and be done

it isnt and this engine is the cheapest / best / simplest alternative here in europe to the chevy 6 inline ........ as long as i dont want to buy performance / hotrod parts for it
