Considering a Big Block Chevy?

I will always now wonder about Pontiac oiling because of that one an Okie bought from that Butler guy eating main bearings. I think Big Chief was just buzzing it a bit too high. Then the Crow Mod got parked.

Y'all funny talking about bbcs making excessive torque.. its adorable. I'm trading my 454 for a 72 LeMans with the T41 option, which is the GTO nose. Its a hell of a deal for me since orange lumps are so lame.

because you know this isn't hate (my love for all things Buick is well documented), I'll point out that a BBC is what a BOP could be with proper oiling.

the 3.25" mains on pontiacs dont help, means high bearing speeds.
on the other hand it makes a really strong crank...

That's why the SBC MP racers used to love the 2 bolt main blocks with the small journals. Forged 283 crank and ALL the RPM.
