auto:
Ok, now that we had such fun with oil pans, let's try this one. I've noticed that nearly all flats run big blocks, usually the more brutal the better. But I've run into a few guys who run small blocks and really like them - better throttle response, they say. They can also be built to make as much power an anyone with grey hair wants. So what's the consensus?It's really a matter of preference---I have a brotherinlaw that has a light mid sixtys stevens with a 327 chevy, 4 bl, 3 blade prop, and he uses it for a ski boat and cruising when no chop, mainly skiing--great boat, all orginal,fun, runs somewhere around 50s--I have a mid seventies heavy hull hondo that will beat u to death in any kind of chop--so we turned it back into the race boat it originally was---(Blown on gas BBC)--and for something different, you can build a 400+ cu in small block that in a very light (race boat) run with the big blocks (pro-mod 7.0 bracket)--its all a matter of choice and the option is up to u----
