I think your right on the fear of the unknown is the big thing for alot of people.I think this is why they invented the carb conversions for them witch makes no sense to me dollar for dollar pound for pound there is no comparison. I was a big and small block junkie until I pulled one apart and looked over all the improvements that that gm. did for these have you buddy do some math comparison how much would it take to build a 500 hp. small or big block and how much for a ls based conversion. don't forget all of the items like all the front drive acc. system alum block,alum. heads that flow over 300 cfm's roller cam just because there seems to be alot on this forum does not mean its to mainstream the people on here are just a little smarter than most hotrodders.after i opened the first ls based motor I sold all of my old small and big block stuff.just my 2 cents worth.
