Thanks Jack!

Walter, no it is not. That is purelyblock related.
Small Böock and Big Block are physically different blocks, the big one heavier.

That is why I want the lighter small block with big displacement.

I am not too familiar with the various FORD blocks, but it very obvious withthe Chevy.

Chevy SB ranged from (the most common, only) 283 cui to 400 cui, the big one from 396! to 454, now 502, with a very rare piece of 496 cui for Can-Am in the 70s.
Which I had in my last Cobra, BTW...

But now I switch to FORD: the analogy goes like this: 260 to 400 for SB, 390 to 460 for the big one, where the well known 427/428 feature a lighter block than the 460 ...

Best regards,

Dominik
