thanks for all the info to all, but still....what are the actual specifications that make a block a "big block"? is it a very blurry line or a fine line--i.e. certain bore and stroke, certain displacement, liter, etc.
DGthe3 gave good technical info on 'why'.... If you understand deck height and bore spacing you'll understand.
