Kenosha Warrior Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 when someone says a 350 SBC. what does the SBC stand for?
feerocknok Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Small Block Chevy. As opposed to a Big block chevy.
Kenosha Warrior Posted January 20, 2007 Author Posted January 20, 2007 Small Block Chevy. As opposed to a Big block chevy. ah. ok. whats the difference between a small block and a big block?
DirtyComanche Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 One's small, one's big. Small blocks went to about 400ci stock, and big blocks started at 393 (I think) and went to 496 stock. Through GMPP you can get a 632 BBC, or perhaps larger now. There's also aftermarket SBCs that go up to a hair over 454ci. Very few things that fit a SBC fit a BBC. They're really totally different motors. But I'm not as brushed up on my GM stuff as I used to be.

feerocknok Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Basically any SBC part will fit any other SBC (i.e. 305 intake manifold on a 400), and the same for a big block. :thumbsup:
