I’m a big block fan myself, had an Olds 455 bored and stroked to 476 c.i. Ported heads, 2 4 barrel carbs, lumpy cam, open headers. It was music to my ears.
My brother had a 1979 Olds 98. You didn’t steer it … you aimed it.
My only big block was a ‘65 gold Chrysler 300 with the base 383 and Carter 4 barrel. 330 hp. Too costly to maintain.
