Default Hey!!!!!!!!!

what's up guys.............

just a question, would running a first gen small block, or even a big block earn less respect from members to reach my goals than running an ls1 or ls2 motor??? not that i'm building my car with the approval of others in mind, but i am curious since this site IS ls1/2 oriented. not sure what i am going to do yet, like 3 or 4 different options on what i will finally do with the car.

thanks for your input,

Dave

Ditto what Tom said. You can build twice the motor for 1/4 of the price.
