A small block is a small block. The physical size of the block doesn't change, it's just a combination of "gut size" change.

By your own definition, the guys that you travel with would consider your 333 out of the "typical" range. And I'm sure that they would consider my 445 and 460 cubic inch Windsors out of the range as well.....

Congratulations.
