Having a big block was a blast. :dance:
I thought it was a lot of fun having to raise it just to replace a couple of spark plugs.
Don't you agree?

Ford made some great small blocks such as the 5.0L HO, Boss302, and even what we often refer to as "middle block" Cleveland motors. (think Boss 351...grrr)
But, the big block just gets my vote hand down. A 427 Side-Oiler in a Cobra?? A 429SCJ with the shaker poking through the hood of a Torino???
The new 4.6L motors are great. But, if Ford made a clean-sheet DOHC 427ci V-8 in the morning this website would be in a frenzy....and that says it in a nutshell.

Hard poll
Can go either way, but if I were building a car
I'd bore and stroke a small block to 390ci
radical cam, high compression, forged internals, cold-air and headers
I would love to carve corners on my car, because it's fun as heck. The small block will save me some weight, and sit right on the firewall just behind the front axle. It will still have so much muscle and low-end to go fast as heck in a straight-line too.

im with Manny (can i call you manny?) on this one. a small block with a large bore x stroke is the way to go.
does the 351W count as a small block? i always thought so. a 427W stroker would be lotsa fun :P

The 351's are small blocks, they are about 100lbs lighter and slightly narrower/longer than chevy's small block 350 
I have no prob with Manny Might have to put that next to my name, like in parenthesis or something
oh and you can bore/stroke a windsor to 454ci if you use the dart machinery iron eagle blocks.
