I think saying the SBC sounds bad is borderline blasphemous for an automotive enthusiast even for someone who can't stand GM.



oh - a FH - nope - has to be FI and have a CAT for me to swap it in the volvo - as the volvo did too.

And the second part - How can you even compare the sounds of a SBF and a SBC - Man they dont even sound the same.



They don't sound the same, you are correct. I personally don't think the SBF sounds as good. Granted, it's still sounds great, but there is something about Chevy v8s that is down right addictive.

I am honest about my opinions - I wont ever own a Chev because I dont like a lot of things about them.
and before you talk about engine noises - a 454 sounds SOOO crappy next to a 427 and EVERYONE knows that! Not to mention I think ill kick back to a bit of Nick Masons Into the Red and a lovely V16!!



I guess I disagree again. The ford 427 is one my favorite engines ever, if not my very favorite. But in terms of sound, performance models of the BBC rival it in terms of sound, and performance for that matter.
