Look I know this isn't a chevy site but I'm thinking about selling my truck and buying a 1969 Firebird. See here's my problem. My buddy says it has a 350 Big Block, is it a big block or a small block with taller deck height? I know it is a 350 Rocket motor just well check this out.

Here's the only info I could find...

As for the 350, its a small block. There never has been a 350 big block, whether it was an olds or not, it simply doesnt exist. The small blocks go as follows: 262,265,267,283,302(Z28, yes Chev had a 302 as well)305,307,327,350 and the 400. The big blocks go like this: 348,409 and the 427 with a bore and stroke of 4.312" x 3.65" (These three are the first BBC's) then it goes 366,396,402(the catch with this is, the 396 is the 402, Chev made a mistake on a certain portion of 396's made by giving them a 0.0035 overbore if I am corect by the specs)then we got 427 with the bore and stroke of 4.250" x 3.76 then it goes 454 and 502. Thats it. And just to show, ive got myself a 383 Stroker, 350 SMALL block, with a 400 SMALL BLOCK crank. The 350 bore is 4.00' and the stroke is 3.48, and the bore of a 400 is 4.125 and the stroke is 3.75, now add that stroke to a 4.00" bore. Makes one fast engine! The reverse can be done by taking a 350 crank and a 400 block to make 377.

Now with that said what do you guys think? Is there a 350 Rocket big block??
