Geez, Sorry. Didn't mean to ruin your whole day!!!! That's why I wrote what I wrote with smiles, etc. But seriously, if you think that SBC will ever outpull and outmileage a powerstroke, then one of us certainly is fantasiciing!!!!!! Chevy is #1, I guess the plant closings and layoffs are just more of my overactive imagination???? Chill dude, it was all said in jest.

If you want some respectable power out of that SBC, how about turning it into a 383 stroker, updating the heads and efi, a cat back exhaust system, shift kit for the tranny. There are a number of manufacturers offering crate stroker motors that would be equal to the task......
