But, I suppose everyone has their own tastes, and when it comes to me and a BBC, a 454 is the path I'll take, well that or a 632 similar to that of the Jegs cavalier.
I dont know why I like the 572 so much to be honest. I guess 572 sounds cool...and it would be fun to cram such a big engine in such small clearences. (and I thought trying to fit the Hemi in this was hard)
