The slang name "Small Block" is used to describe several families of V8 engines with cast iron or aluminum body, which were and are still being installed on General Motors full-size pickups, SUVs and sportcars - Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Corvette, and others. For its half-century history, they have reached almost perfection: top versions develop 500-600 horsepower even from assembly line. These engines are produced in millions of copies, and for swap you don't need to look for a donor: GM Performance Parts Department offers motors separately - especially for motorsport and tuning.


These engines are installed everywhere in the U.S.: in SUVs and European sedans, small roadsters and crazy drag racing bolides. Professional drifters have figured them out: American motors are used in Nissan Silvia and Skyline, BMW of the third series and Toyota Supra. Sideways specialists are attracted by high power, breakneck thrust and perfect throttle response together with excellent reliability - it's almost impossible to get all that from low-volume Japanese turbocharged engines at once.

Thank you! Its usefull
