Honestly its the gen I SBC that I think the LS totally puts out of business. Its easier, cheaper and more reliable. The only reason to run a vintage SBC is just because you already have one.

And I see your point but this isn't the same thing. There was never a 350 you could yank out of a truck at 150,000 miles, do a cam swap and make 450 HP. Or buy some used LS3 heads and make 500+. Let alone expect it to last another 100,000 miles.

FWIW I just like to go fast. I have a Pontiac, an FE, and now Im building a BBC for a race car. I never really understood the whole brand loyalty thing. Its an FE that will likely be sacrificed for LS power if the 390 ever gives out. Just too expensive to justify building.
