Very ..
Pics...?

Here's a question, celebrated recently:

At least how many Small Block Chev V8 engines have been manufactured?

100 million, although I disagree the 1955 265 has any relation to the 2012 LS9.

I must agree with you. I find all the LS engines to be a stretch

[LOWDOWN]

"Bore centers" is the key dimension...

[LOWDOWN]

Since this is a non-controversial topic (?!), how many DISPLACEMENTS of SBC V8 have been offered in Passanger cars, since '55??

Name them...

[f5journal]

I will take a shot at it. I'm not too up on the post muscle car stuff

265
283
327
302
307
305
350
400

350 LS
376 LS
427 LS?
383??

Truck 327ish LS??

[LOWDOWN]

262 (Remember the Monza?)
4.3L - '94-'96 Caprice
265
267
283
(4.8L - Lt. Truck)
302
305
307
(5.3L - Lt. Truck)
327
5.7L (LS = 346 c.i.)
350/5.7L (4.00 X 3.48 = 350 c.i.)
6.0L
6.2L
400
7.0L

17 Displacements, spread over 58 Model Years...and counting!

NOT Chev-centered, but GM-related:

What other GM Divisions, at one time or another, shared the above SBC displacements (i.e. offered a 350, for instance)? Name them...

[f5journal]

You meant 283, not 267 right

5.3 Lt Truck is what I was saying 327ish

Forgot about 6.0L

and the LS1 is not same bore and stroke as old school 350...hmm

....oh yeaaaaa, that Monza. The "If Bill Grumpy Jenkins can do it, we can too" V8 Monza from '80ish

[f5journal]

I cannot get close on that one. You gimme'd the 350. But let's start/add the 400. It was shared by most or all divisions at one time or another

I know Pontiac was one. They got in big trouble for not disclosing they put Chev engines in their cars.
