well what it all makes me wonder is why do so many people like the small block chevy? seems to fit well in everything, from a 33 ford tudor sedan to a sports car. I'm sure that a sbc with aluminum heads is probably comparable weight wise with a 6, probably a little heavier, but I'm sure they're close.

why don't more people use stuff like 4.3 6's and stuff like that?

I've heard about the sbc swap in a jag. I've never heard any thing like the benefits you seem to say with the jag motor over a sbc. I've only heard stuff like the jag motors weren't real overly reliable and they were heavy.

But I've never owned one, so.......what do I know?
