I know this is not an apples to apples comparison - it is almost impossible to sell a good sized offshore powerboat with twin small blocks. Regardless of power. A big block means power with reliability.

I agree a big block will have more curb appeal to the average guy with to much money.
For the guys on this board a LSx or turbo Small block.
The average guy who wants a good handling car is a larger market than the more hard core enthusiast. So do the big block 454, 502 crate motor or 540 can't loose. I would do a brand name crate motor to get the attention too.
