So if you want to build something different maybe you should just do it without pontificating about how trite our motors are.
Agree, Rick had all the reasons for the sbc and its popularity,parts availability and affordability. Those two are the main stakes of an auto project especially while you are trying to make ends meet. I would of loved to of put a 348 or 409 in my T bucket but had kids in college, the price of that hardware is in the sky, not to mention pistons/rods and machining too.
