Great Engine.. I am thinking of putting something like that in My 84 Trans Am. Did you modify the hood to fit the engine?

[BigThirsty1]

No mods to the hood, it was almost a perfect fit.

they ruined the style of the camaro in the late 70's

Sweet job on the car man! Looks a lot like my 80 with a custom 509cid. Makes for a hell of a surprise when people get a look under the hood and expect to see a small block and an even bigger surprise when challenged a street drag. Good luck with it!

lot of ppl dont know if a small block comes out a big block will go back in pretty easy even a 4.3 u can hook up a 454 to its tranny

small block and big block is just an dold term. the new chevey z06 is a 427 which mainly would think is a big bug is actually a small. big block is just the outsdie dimesiinos of the engine or maybe the distance between bores. i forget. but most people have a big block for nostalgia look and feel.

Where did you get your headers?

[forrestrocks1980]

a small block is a small cubic/in motor so it hits rpms a lot quicker and has a lot of mid range torq even with a rv cam. a big block has brutal torq through the entire rpm range. and it is a lot heaver motor so it might affect the cars handling. a small block is a lot lighter. so small blocks are good for moderate stuff and big blocks are almost good for any thing.

old school hotrodders love being different than the crowd. big block engines have character that small blocks will never achieve, i think their both great engines though...

[1993devin]

what's better a big block or a small block anyway
