Hey FEandGoingBroke you may have just changed the terminology for the words Big or small completely when you use the word "Godzilla". I like that, it just sounds good when you hear someone has a Godzilla 200 or a Godzilla 460. I also agree in making a motor do what it is designed to do because when I was a kid not having much money and I had to make due with what I had. I did have one mean Godzilla 200 Sprint motor in a Mustang. It would flat stomp the ground pretty hard. The cars that I couldn't out run (friends and police, ect.. oops should I say that) I usually could out drove them. The horses are there if someone wants to take the time and fix up what they already have.

Re: Big block or Small Block

Cool - now we can have a 289M to go with the 351M.

Trivia - 351 Cleveland blocks came from the Cleveland foundry. Along with....289s and 302s. So you could call a 289 a 289C. Which, according to the car show scientist, would make it a big block. But not as big as a big block 300 6.
