I can understand burnouts to prepare slicks for a drag race , but I just cannot come to terms with this behaviour. To call it motorsport is just rubbish , along with drifting.

Most of the members here who modify their vehicles are searching for traction, not the opposite.

Why does this attract people?....or ..is it a bogan thing?

Are bogans people?

I'm already ducking for cover........

Tell that to the 10s of thousands of people watching the burnout competition at Summernats each year.

hahaha, can you do burnouts with a small block?

If you can't then you need to have a stern talk with your engine builder. An SBC in sprint car or Nascar tune will punch out 800-900 horsepower naturally aspirated. Depends on fuel mix, compression ratio, camshaft.

There was a 101 at the LROCV Wandin show with a 454 in it a few years ago.

Very much so unless you’ve pulled several of the plug leads off. You think you can with a Rover 3.5? 😁

Yes, that’s a VERY tight squeeze. IIRC part of the chassis rails were modified to get the exhaust to fit.

yes I know 410s, I didn't realise they were called small blocks

I was thinking 253 , 272, 283, 305,7,8

what size does it cease to be small block?

Around 400 cubic inch, I was thinking of a 350 when posting.

There are 427 small blocks. 4.125 bore x 4.00 stroke. Smokey Yunick had small blocks out at 427 in the 1960's when he was head of Chev Race engine development. See the web site for GM Performance Parts.

If you want real horsepower for a street car look at Mopar Performance. They now do a supercharged Hemi for which they claim 1000 horsepower.

The small block chev is called small due to the block being smaller than the earlier V8's they had been producing. It is a very compact size and fits into smaller chassis than a big block can.
A big block is a much taller wider motor and also heavier, this extra block heigth allows longer strokes and the width allows bigger bores.
