Re: To Big Block...Or Not to BBC.....
If it will be a work truck you gonna tow with, a big block would serve you well, but for a weekend cruiser the mpg are just too lousy. I would take the 350 and build a 383 stroker with a little EFI unit on top, makes plenty of power and good mpg on long trips. Big blocks are pricey to rebuild. Check into a L31 engine, perfect for a Longhorn, imo. Personally, I would stay away from the sbc 400. Yes, it's a classy engine, but I'm not a fan of the siamese bore.
