Well, since you specified small block, you're not looking for a muscle car. They ALL had "big blocks". Never send a boy to do a man's job!
If you want to run a "crate" (read:POS) motor, you'll need a Ford or Chevy. Nobody else has "crate" motors. Of course, a machine shop can put a good motor in a crate if it would make you feel better.
I don't mean to sound condescending, but there's a fundemental misunderstanding on this site, about what constitutes a muscle car. If the wheel base is under 112", it's NOT a muscle car, regardless of how much "muscle" it packs...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's YOUR definition of a muscle car. Many of us have different ideas as to what constitutes a muscle car. I guess next you'll be telling us that imports and anything after 1973 CANNOT be a muscle car either, right?

there are plenty of good muscle after 1973.
eg.
ford falcon ran 351's till i think 1982 all them cars are muscle.

Hugh?? Maybe in Australia!

only in Australia boy!:iceslolan:rofl::iceslolan

It isn't MY definition of muscle car, it's GM's. They, afterall, invented the thing. The factory muscle era ended in 1973, when the EPA took charge. NOT ONE "muscle car" came from the factory with a small block ANYTHING in it, before then.
