Default SBC vs BBC.

Okay, lets look at small blocks VS big blocks, but using similar displacements.

Say, the 'W' block 348, vs the SBC 350.

Power to weight ratio goes in favor of the small block, but does the big block make more lower end torque because of the differences in bore and stroke?

Still on to another 'W' big block, the 409, compared to a bored SBC 400.

The 400 is known for it's low end grunt...and how does that compare to the option the 409 gives you...excluding the huge handicap or cost to build.

Feel free to discuss other similar displacement between the BBC and SBC divisions.
