Dumb question. Why would you ever want a big block? iirc small blocks were bigger than 400ci too and I'm assuming weigh less. Unless you're boosting past 1000hp does having a bigger bottom end matter?

I'm only going to disagree with the first one, because:

Yes, I though of the AAR right after I posted this. Should have gone with a Belvedere! Here's a Silver Bullet that won't slow you down!

Yeah, only left out TA's because of 1969 TA! SD455 for your time!

Completely agreed these days for new cars. This was back in the day when handling didn't matter and bigger was faster. A Sonny's 2150hp 1550 ft./lb of torque naturally aspirated 1005ci for your time! http://www.sonnysracingengines.com/engines/sar-10…

Head capabilities are one thing, at least with Gen I SBC/Mark IV BBC engines.

You can also run into some durability issues. A big block is physically bigger so the parts can take more abuse.
