To get 434cu in in a small block you need a 0.030" oversize 4 1/8" bore with a 4" stroke crank - To keep the stroke to rod ratio reasonable you should run a 6" conrod, which will mean you will have a very short piston that will have the gudgeon pin in the oil ring groove, that requires special oil rings with support rails. You will also have to machine 4 of the rods to clear the camshaft and the camshaft itself will have to be a special grind with a very small base circle. It is a very tight squeeze to get everything to rotate with clearance, but no problem with the right components

Is the Chevy v8 350 a small block or big block?

"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.
