SBF 4.38"
SBC 4.4"
Godzilla 4.53"
BBC 4.84"
BBF 4.9"

So based on bore spacing the Godzilla is closer to small blocks than big blocks, thus I chose Small Block Talk. Is there a better place for it, I'm all ears, I haven't frequented this forum for many years but wanted to share what I've done to answer some questions for others.

Absolutely. Based upon cylinder bore spacing Ford's Godzilla is generally considered a small block.

Reminder that Ford made / makes SBW / SBF / Windsor crate engines up to 460 CID / 7.5 L, while Godzilla is 7.3 L.
