Technical Old Big Blocks; preferences

] I've been a Packard fan forever, picked this up quite a few years ago. Very cool (polished) stroker crank and rods, Jahns LC pistons, 414cu. in. Complete isky valvetrain. Ported within an inch of its life.
Aluminum sheaffer flywheel. Receipts show build in 1956-57 by Ansen and never started. Took me a week of soaking with diesel to get the assy lube off of everything to diassemble. Stuff was hard as plastic but thankfully protected every piece in it. I cannot even imagine trying to find those parts now...

 

I've pretty much been a sbc guy my entire life but OT or not, if you've ever driven a 1970 LS-6/4speed Chevelle, to me, the answer is clear, this 16 year old drove a brand new one.
It was epic!

 

Lots of extremely cool big old V8s. But right now I'm focused on this one. Maybe not often considered. The big block B/RB Mopar wedge engine.



Being prepared for my 1931 Plymouth Coupe.
