Just had a brain wave - Small block 350 in a shorty???

[97_gq_lwb]

I'm actually quite interested in this thread, as I am deciding what engine I will stick in my project Patrol that I'm planning over the coming years.

However, I have never quite gotten the differences between the different engines, e.g. 350, 454 etc. Can someone please enlighten me!

Cheers!

They are terms used to describe american made junk typically they have this excuse they use it goes like this (their is no substitute for cubes).
Basically what that means is that backward redneck americans can't build a motor to save themselves.
They need 2-3 times the cubic capacity to produce the same power output as other manufacturers.
Hence the war in iraq they need the oil to produce the fuel to keep these big guzzlers on the road.
