What was your 1st BBC you owned?

My 1st. BBC was a 390hp/427 that I put in my Dad's old car.
My 2nd was a 396 in a '66 Caprice
My 3rd BBC was in my old '69 SS 396 Chevelle 4 speed car
My 4th BBC was a 375hp/396 '70 Nova

427 that I pieced together & put in my 68 GTO. Still have the engine.

My first was a 396-325 hp that came in my 66 SS396 bought in 1976.
In 1983, I built a 427 with 750 Holley and small Erson cam with rhodes lifters.
It was probably 400 hp but it seemed very fast.

The only BB I owned was a 72 Monte Carlo with a 402

I have always had small blocks.

I have had over a dozen 396's in my lifetime, inc. 2 375hp/396's. Most of the ones we bought were from a junkyard buddy when he junked cars and the engines were like $75 bucks back then.

The GTO convertible clone sitting in my garage presently that my brother gave me (he didn't want to put any more money into it). It originally had a 350, but now it has a 461 (.30 over 455).

99% SB and diesels for me. My first and only BBC I still own is a 454 in my 1975 K30 4 door dually. And this will be replaced soon by a Mark Jones (VORTECPRO) BB Tow engine.

Stunning engine bay there Mike. As a kid I hated seeing all those hoses, just wanted to see an engine with a fuel line. Now, everything just looks cool, even a snorkelled air cleaner.
My first bbc was also my blue '69 conv, L34 in '96 or so, it later multiplied into a half dozen or so. This being top dog, 468, brodix, 871.

If I can get up enough ambition, I'll have another one of those, 432/6-71. I just miss that sound.
