The 396/402 *is* a big block. The 400 and 383 (which GM never made, but 9 million rodders have!) are small blocks, unless you have a Mopar. Then the 383 is a low deck big block ( as opposed to a high deck big block) ... Hey.. don't ask me! Mopar motors make nice power, but I hate the complete lack of interchangeability.
I grew up on bowties and was shocked to learn that you couldn't just snatch the heads off of a 340 and stick them on a 318.
