Question Stupid question time - Engine sizes...

Ok, as many of you know I come from a chevy background and my father has sheltered me from fords, so I don't know their engines very well.

What are the most common engine sizes excluding boring or stroking
(289, 302, 351, 390, 427, 428, 460) what am I missing? Can you please break your list into big blocks and small blocks?

Here is what I'd really like to see:

Small Blocks:
289ci with XYZ crank = XXXci
289ci with ZZU crank = XXXci
302ci with XYZ crank = XXXci
351ci with XYZ crank = XXXci

Big blocks:
390 with XYZ crank = XXXci


Also which engines look the same from the outside? Lets say I want the appearance of a 427 under the hood but don't want to spend all that money. Which engines could I use? 390? 428? From what I understand the 460's are completely different.

example:
All the old chevy small blocks look the same (283, 327, 350, 400)
Even the big blocks look the same (396, 427, 454)

I can put 400ci crank in a 350ci block and then I have a 383ci. Does it work the same for Ford engines?

Sorry for the stupid questions.

Oh! also, how much can each block be safely bored out to?
I see HERE that a 351W can be stroked to 427.
