[QUOTE="Bert, post: 43373, member: 263"] Big block/small block refers to the engine design. Its the size of the block/engine. Most US V8's are 5.7L. Horsepower is usually around 300 max mayeb 350 except for special models like the Corvette LT1 engines... The torwue curve for these engines are quite flat so you have lots of torque on call from standstill till mayeb 4000 rpm. I used to drive my friends Chevy Caprice, police spec. Its rated at 250 Hp or so at wheel and I dunno how much torque. without touching the acccelerator pedal, the car can go up to 30MPH on D (most american cars are auto's)! This should be an indication of how much pwoer it has. Accelerating from 30mph to 60mph is a breeze and overtakign at 70mph is like flexing ur toes a bit... You will have to consider what car you are getting to transplant the engine inside first. I prefer the Ford 4.8 V8 engine fromt he mustang and the Camaro's 5.7L V* from the Z28... There are a lot of hop up parts you can get for these engines. I'll see if I meet up any of my old friends who own these cars on MSn and I'll ask them as I am nto very familiar with modifying american cars... students rarely have the cash to maintain these cars.
