BIG BLOCK OR SMALL BLOCK DOES NOT DEPEND ON CUBIC INCHES . IT IS THE DESIGN OF THE BLOCK ITS SELF.
that is a 302 small block engine. -------------------------------------------------------------- For a Ford ( GM calls their 305 cubic inch a 5.0 liter )
The 77 has better metallurgy. Any advantages of the 68 318 are not specific to the block.
Means 350 cubic inch Block space
It wasnt a 400 big block it actually was a 402
Engine offerings for the 1976 model year included a 250 cubic-inch inline six and a variety of V8s including the 305, 350 and 400 cubic-inch versions of the Chevy small-block V8
The Chevy small block V8 305 cubic inch engine was manufactured between 1976 and 1996. It was used in cars and trucks.
"The v8 350 is a small block Chevrolet motor.....................it became a big block at 396cubic inches......so anything smaller is a "small" block" this is a little misleading. a 350 is indeed a small block. a 396 is indeed a big block. but you can have a small block that is (internally..cubic inch wise) actually larger than a big block. for example GM made a 400 cubic inch small block. internally it is a larger engine than a 396, but the outer dimensions of the 396 are larger than the 400 small block. and the external dimensions and cylinder head design are what make a small block a small block, and a big block a big block. a small block engine simply has a physically smaller block...a big block is called a big block because it's block is bigger than that of a small block.
there is a serial number stamp on the engine block(block-bottom half of engine)it is on the front,on the left or rihgt side
