Beholder of grotesque appearing body mutations should heed the words of immortal Yoda the Jedi Master, "Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you, it will."

Song I hear frequently deals with a guy who wakes up on a chert rock gravel road with whiskey eyes and ashtray breath as the sun makes its way through the windshield of his Chevrolet.

Chevrolet smallblocks were the most popular for hot rods and engine swaps due to their high specific power, light weight, and relatively small size.

Size, weight, performance, simplicity and a HUGE variety of affordable, high quality performance parts.

Parts for the SBC proliferated rapidly because it became so popular so quickly, and the great parts situation made it even more popular...and I still don't really get why GM didn't just put the LS heads on the venerable smallblock bottom end, as though the LS is good, it's just not (IMHO) THAT much better.

(EDIT: There is, by the way, an aftermarket smallblock block that WILL accept LS heads; both engines have the same bore spacing, but the water passages and bolt holes are different.)
