They look ugly (in my opinion) and the only thing they are remotly good for is dragging because they have that big 5.0L engine.


Looks are subjective, and a 5.0L is not even close to a big engine.

Status: offline 		It is funny what the new generations consider "big" for an engine now adays isnt it ? They see a 302 as big.....we see it as more average, and their 4 cylinder engines as "small"....lol..

But a Honda 2.0 is only HALF an engine..........

I consider the 7.5L (462) in my '66 GTO a medium sized engine.

Status: offline 		Well... Big is a relative term. Big for a relatively cheap car is 5.0L for my generation. Thats probably thanks to Detroit and their need to meet up with everyones fuel economy standards. A little four banger probably shouldn't be considered an engine though, lol, even in my terms...

With today's technology and innovations, a 302 can make most 60's big blocks look pitiful. It's much easier to make a fast small block V8 than a big block. If money is no option, then big blocks are the only way to go. I have a 289 Mustang that people don't believe is a 289 because of the power it makes.
