Surely there should a distinction drawn between the old iron smallblock chevy and the gen111 engines?

The majority of you will probably call me a heathen but the gen111 engines seem to me to be the best way to get 400 plus bhp and an aluminium block. The opportunity to save 150lbs over the rear axle is surely also worthy of some consideration!

I do however have to admit that a ford smallblock with webers is pretty sexy beast. Rob the RCR40 is looking good.
