SBF 4.38"
SBC 4.4"
Godzilla 4.53"
BBC 4.84"
BBF 4.9"

So based on bore spacing the Godzilla is closer to small blocks than big blocks, thus I chose Small Block Talk. Is there a better place for it, I'm all ears, I haven't frequented this forum for many years but wanted to share what I've done to answer some questions for others.

That is GM/Mopar thinking,, clueless supermarket Hotrod/Car Craft drivel, big block vs small block. Ford has always had at least 3 block sizes, small, medium, and large.

The Godzilla is just a modern FE, with slightly smaller bore spacing.
Can you imagine the BILLIONS of dollars Ford could have saved by just continuing production and updating of the FE instead of re-creating it decades later? You can easily buy the components for a 445 FE today.
