Phat obviously our perspectives of "little" in terms of power differ. Very obviously.
By choice I want to get the best bang for the buck out of a six. It's not an issue of money, but personal preference.
If I wanted a LOT of show off power I could easily have one of the many locally respected engine builders throw me together a mean 400+ HP small block for $3k.
My sister's boyfriend has been trying for months to talk me into going ahead and buying a crate 350 and be done with it but so far I've refused. But this weekend I'm going to give a lot of thought about what my long term goals are with my project and make my final engine decision with that in mind.
