Big block or Small Block

.....or a small block 455W that you could stuff in an Oldsmobuick and still be technically right in a sort of screwy way. And now I'm getting back to GM and the 350/455 motor having no big or small block block. This is just too confusing anymore. All I know is that when I see a 302 intake I say, "Gee, that' small". And when I see an FE intake, I go, "Wow, that thing is huge!". So that is how I decide whether it is a big block or a small block.

With that being said small block and big block are chevy designations, ford never called a 460 a big block, it was simply called a 385 series engine. the cleveland, the 351m and 400 all fall into a 335 series motor catergory, windsors are windsors, such as 289's 302's and 351w's, there is no such thing in a ford vocabulary as big or small block

i feel so informed now im just shakin. now on a serious note......the 351 C is a large, small block. but again........Ford doesn't use sb and bb definitions like those jerkoffs at GM. This is why Ford uses engine "families" such as FE,Windsor, Cleveland and so on.

You guys are cracking me up. Whats it matter just mash the gas. I guess it all boils down to old school teachings or new school teachings so forgive me but for the life of me I can't remember which school is bigger or smaller.

Bigger is Better !!!!

Great thread!
