For very little money, it was (and is) very easy to build up a screaming SBC or BBC. That said, comparable Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, and Buicks were much higher quality cars with much nicer interiors and appointments. And many were better performers out of the gate than Chevrolets.....there were just far fewer of them on the streets. Even today, the cost difference of building a 500 HP Pontiac or Buick compared to building a 500 HP Chevrolet is huge.
If you can't afford the best,....stick with Chevrolet.
