Chevrolet big block vs small block

Tadshy · 11-25-2018, 01:05 PM

I'm looking for a Chevrolet nova stocker and was wondering if anyone on here could tell me if owning a big block Chevrolet is a lot more costly than running a small block. I have seen a few guys that had B and C/SA nova's that swapped out their big blocks and now run F/SA. I was just curious if this was for costs reasons or something else.

Simple answer YES for many reasons

Talk to my friend Joe Demarzo. He frequents this site and has a Nova that was a BB and he changed it to a SB He’s a very successful racer that has won many races. His car is a very fast H/SA ....He also raced a SB Camaro in the past. He knows the pluses and minuses of racing both engine combinations.,

Love Stock Elim., but it costs $ to run either combo. and try to run at the top of each class. BB stick will put a smile on your face, big dent in your pocket!

Ya know, if you don't want or can't spend a ton of money on a combo, you could always put a 307 in it! There's at least one nut case out there running one.
