    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.

    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.

    Here are a couple of links

    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.
