    I voted Chevy V8, but if it's a 427 "SBC" Dart block with Dart heads, I guess I should have voted "other".

    Three hot rods and a dozen or so spare engines, all early Olds so one vote works for me.
     
  21. Y-Block of course! No real suprises in the poll.

    Been beating the **** out of every flavor of Chevrolet engine for 50 years come this fall. It may be boring but it's earned my loyalty many times over.

    Not really except i figured the chevy v8 would've been more like 50% of the vote.:D I really wish i would've broken it down further like the one guy said because i bet small block chevys would make up about 2/3rds of the chevy v8 vote.
