Small Block Chevy V8 - SBC - Engine SpecificationsThe small block Chevy engine is the most common V8 engine out there to add performance upgrades to. Production for the typical small block started in 1957 and is still being used today. Due to the long production run, a few different versions and displacements were available. Most parts are interchangeable throughout the years, but some, such as an oil pan, are era specific. They're easy to work on and are a good engine platform to make streetable power. Plus, the small block Chevrolet is a good performer in its stock form. It doesn't take too much to bring the motor alive. Most truck versions of the 350 SBC had 4 bolt mains as well as some cars. Building a good performer that will hold the horsepower together does not have to be ultra-expensive. You can start with a good 2 or 4 bolt main small block and build power on it. Because of the SBC's popularity, the automotive aftermarket has responded by manufacturing countless numbers of performance upgrades. Building a small block Chevy has many, many combinations of cylinder heads, cams, intakes and other parts to totally custom build the engine you want for your purpose.
