Since when was 5.0 high displacement?

360 cubes (5.7) was generally considered the borderline between small and big block.

Is it that reliable?

Police cars, taxis, and livery cabs suggest yes.

Small block v. big block is based on the block, not the displacement. Chevy at one point made a 400ci small block and a 396ci big block. The bore spacing on the big blocks is larger since the blocks were designed to support larger displacement engines.

I'm aware of this. That is why I said generally.

Most motors above 360 ci, aside from exceptions like the Chevy 400 and Olds 403, were big blocks.

The Windsor isn't a big block or very large displacement.

Nice try. You want to play that game? At least do it right: Benz Patent-Motorwagen 0,95l 0,67kW.

(I think that's it. The Patentwagen is probably the worst power-to-displacement-ratio that ever was.)

MultiplaOrgasms > kaheff (L20E) 10/24/2014 at 16:31

But its engine had the highest specific output of all the cars at the time! Also the winner is the Marcus-Wagen No.2 with three quarters of a hp from 1,5L.

Both my '76 Delta 88 and my '86 C10 had 2.73:1 rear axles.

I meant that a big bearing 9" is awesome even if the ratio is not performance based.

Most of the ones still running are rocking a 4.6 mod motor. Windsor main bearings tend to go out around 200k.
