Small block, big block is a older chevy thing. If someone asked me if I am running a big or small block, they are usually a Chevy fan. I usually tell them what ever the engine is, a 289, 351 Windsor or a Cleveland. I would lump the 221, 260, 289, 302, 351 Windsors together as small blocks. For the most part they take the same bell housing, head type and motor mounts. I would put Clevelands by themselves. They still have small block mounts and bell housings. Then you have 292 and 312 that are y blocks. You also have 351m/400, kind of a mixed bag. They take Cleveland styled heads and 385 series bell housings. 429/460 are a 385 series. FE's, well are just FE's, large lumps of iron. Mark
