So why would you want something that heavy & not produce the HP/torque of a BBC?
Had both at one point or another.........You'll never get a big block to run where a V-6 will. They were a big thing years ago in single/tandem axle trucks around here, a GMC with a V-6 would out gross a BB equiped Chevy and out run it to boot! That is why I often wondered why you couldn't get them in the Chevy's........
I didn't intend to start a war, just wondering why they didn't do it from a Business "Stand Point".........But I guess things were different then compared to now.........I wish they would do the same thing now days........I'd really like to buy a regular Cab GMC 3/4 ton with a CUMMINS instead of a oil burner from rice land.
