Editing The "Controversial" Chevy small block

What's not to like about a SBC. Good power to weight ratio, rear sump, a ton of aftermarket parts available, and both motor and parts are as economical as it gets. They are the most common engine, cause it makes the most sense. 
Seems like all the people knocking them have the same complaints "They're everywhere" "Tired of looking at em" "No imagination" etc. 
I don't get it. The roots of hot rodding were to build fast, cheap. So back in the beginning, that meant model A's with flat heads. Light, fast, cheap. 
You think people went around snubbing their noses at all the flatheads? I guess now we should snub our noses at 32's, cause they're everywhere. If you're building an 80k trailer queen for the purpose of winning trophys, you should spend more money and jump through more hoops to have something unique under the hood.  Bragging rights, you know. But if you're building a hot rod to have fun, put a SBC in it.
