Ok, I see that now. Sorry and don't let this bungle up the contest. If Bill allowed for "BOP Blocks" then that's how it is in this contest. I guess this includes the 292, since those truly are big block straight 6s, even though you don't hear them referred to that way.

It is an age old discussion, or argument, that there is only one big block in the GM family. You have to have a small block to compare to in order to have a big block.

I love Pontiacs and would love to put one in my '67 GMC. But the 326 uses the same block as the 455. I'd want people to think my '67 had a 389 but would likely wind up with a more common displacement dressed to appear as one.
