Ron, I have to give you crap on this one! Tell you what, you pick a dozen BBC parts at random and I'll pick a dozen Pontiac parts at random and we'll each see how many we can bolt onto the "corporate" big block.....
Interesting observation from Fantomponcho that, most of the Performance Years BB contributors are in an automotive related industry. At first glance, I can see how he came to that conclusion. However, I would guess the majority are not, such as myself. There are a number of highly respected automotive people here (Tom V. Pontiac Dude etc.) but for most I think this is a hobby.
As far as BBC's. I know of a serious combination for sale and honestly, if I had the spare money, I would buy it. Not saying it would go in my Poncho (?????) but it's hard to beat the price/performance/durability issues.
