Not Ranked
I could be incorrect but I think NASCAR had a little to do with it in the 70s when they required all BB engines to run restrictor plates but allowed the "small block" engines to run unrestricted. All the manufactures are still running 358 CID engines today. In Ford's case I think it's based on the Windsor.
