I've owned two big blocks in my life (396 & 427) and both were very good engines but I'll have to admit that the 396 "rat motor" was the best of the two. Neither one of these engines required a lot of maintenance and both ran very well and even gave decent gas mileage if you drove them properly (which I dd occasionally). I wonder if it was the environmental rules or was it something else that killed the big block?
