Reply to "big block vs small block"

DeTom, the Fe blocks are also big and heavy. True, the 427 was a horsepower monster in its day, but time moves on! A 427 FE at 7500 rpm is living large...and isn't going to last "forever."

A "lot of Cobra's" have 427 emblems on the fenders - most of them are not so equipped.

This is an age old argument that won't be settled here, or anywhere else anytime soon. Big blocks equal lots of torque and a thunderous exahust. Small blocks equal less torque, higher rpm (generally) and a pretty nice sounding exhaust as well. You choose your poison on this one...be prepared to argue every time the subject comes up. Bottom line - small blocks weigh less, big blocks make more torque. How about confusing the issue? A small block, with aluminum components, bored and stroked into big block territory? Want more? How about a big block expanded the same way?

This one will never go away!
