They are becoming more scarce but many engine machine shops can still get or have, the blocks. Remember, they have NO water jacket, so if it's for regular street use, you would be better off getting an aftermarket block, for example a 426 small block from Sunnit or Paw or building a 383 stroker or just throw a small roots type blower on any stout engine.

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.
