Car wrecked...towing question?
In the days gone by Chev, Ford and Chrysler made two families of engines, in Chevs example, the 289,305, 350 cubic inch engines were small blocks, the 396,402, 454 were big blocks. The big block was a larger block allowing larger cylinder bores therefore larger displacement. The 396 could be either big block or small block. Big blocks had more torque and power, small blocks could rev higher.Has there ever been a magentic car idea in history?
There's all kinds of different small blocks It is a regular V8. depending on what size it is it might use less gas. Hard to explain here but it can be anywhere from 262 cubic inches to over 450. It depend on what make it is and what has been done to it. It's just really a term used in the car slang.Is it illegal to use two feet while driving?

Small block and big block refers to the relative physical size of the engine (think volume or weight). The larger "big" blocks typicaly have larger displacement too - but not always. 396 is a big block chev (402 cu in actually) but a 400 is a small block (from the factory). Dodge has a 383 "big" block.Why do some people prefer to use thier cars to reach a destination than public transport?
Gas mileage depends on several factors - you could have a small block that consumes more gas than a big block but typically the smaller displacement wins. It depends on the application and the setup of the powertrain.
Power also depends on set up - but similarly set up displacement will have more power.

a "small-block" is a comparison used back in the hp wars of the 1950s and 60s between the big three (Chrysler Corp, GM Corp, and Ford Motor Co.) Back then there were small block V8s and big block V8s for each of the big three. This was more a measure of outside dimensions of the cylinder block rather than inside displacement because there were big blocks of every brand that at one time had smaller displacement than that same brands largest displacement small block.Why do the Brits drive on the wrong side of the road?
More recently, the moniker "small-block" has usually been reserved for Chevies since their current V8 is very loosely based off of the original small-blocks of the fifties and sixties.

Today's cars now just have V8s, as manufacturers have found it unnecessary to have different size engine blocks.
