Unless you're Grumpy Jenkins, who in the 70's, built a 600 hp 350 small block Chevy which ran 11's in the quarter and destroyed the hot Hemi Mopars at the time. They still haven't forgotten it.
But when you're building a truck, a high winding, low torque small block is probably not the most efficient motor to put in it. Sure, as a race car with super steep gears, why not? But traffic light to traffic light, he's probably not going to like it.
