Have to disagree with this one if we are comparing them to windsor strokers...
There are tons of aftermarket parts available for the windsors and blocks are dirt cheap and plentiful unlike the CJ motors....The windsor can make as much or more power and comes in a smaller package easier to squeeze between the shock towers...

Thanks for the responses. Think I'm going to go with the small block for the drivability and ease of working on. True, more people have the windsor block and the big block would have more wow anywhere I went but... I don't think I would enjoy it as much if it didn't handle as well because of the weight or how accessible the parts are and difficulty of working on.
