In technical terms what seperates Small block from Big Block has nothing to do with cubic inches. In fords it is weather the block is shaped like a Y or a V. The cleveland is in between and has been debated either way. Tha's a fact
Just having fun guys............. I personally could care less what makes a big block Big and a small block small Just adding fuel to the fire and you took the bait What I gave you was the difference between a Y and V block nothing more nothing less. and yes the cleveland has been debated as both Y or V
Honestly I was just answering in jest because I do not know the true anwer to the question. If I was being serious I would have taken the time to explain my theory. look at the Balance rear slick threads for an example of me being right and explaining why I don't know everything but I have spent the last 15 years dedicated to the Auto Repair/fabrication business. I am only 30. Here are some credentials I spent 3 years apprenticing part time(read no pay) in an Automotive Machine Shop Red's machine shop. I dynoed and tuned engines with Red(who was an awesome engine builder but a bit looney, ended up killing himself RIP brother) Did assembly/disassembly matched parts for performance I am an ASE master tech with advanced Engine Diagnostics. I have many Manufacturing certificates A small list Moog Monroe KYB Spicer Cooper Mickey Thompson Yokohama Suspension Specialty products Toyo Tires Evap systems Performance suspension Enhancements What does that all mean? Nothing I still have lots to learn but it does show dedication to my chosen trade. I tend to not give advice on these kind of sites....... First I am not the best teacher Secondly Some old guy always thinks he know more than the young pup(and sometimes they do) I could name 20 guys here that I would trust thier knowledge and not think twice about it. Some older ,some younger. Now where did my pants go?
I don't know what you're point is here, but after you're "real" motor comment in that other thread (331) , I figured you needed taking down a notch. Nothing personal.
I don't care if you're 300 years old and have 250 years in the auto industry, coming on to a board and acting like a know-it-all just reveals maturity level. That said, I'm guilty myself...I admit it! So there ya go. We all have our moments
They call me Mr. Knowitall I will not compromise. I will not be told what to do. I shall not step aside. They call me Mr. Knowitall I have no time to waste. My mouth it spews pure intellect. And I've such elegant taste. They call me Mr. Knowitall. I sup the aged wine. Oh I could tell such wonderous tales if I should find the time. I must be Mr. Knowitall For ideas they come in bounds. I am Mr. Knowitall So spread the word around. They call me Mr. Knowitall I am so eloquent. Perfection is my middle name And whatever rhymes with eloquent. That's a song by Primus WE all have are moments no doubt. I was just kidding in the response. The tire thread I knew what I was talking about from XP and stood my ground. and if nothing else it was a great source of entertainment. It's the Bad in me.... Moving on.......
