Yes I know Chevy made a lot of small blocks. Hmmm lets see... (correct me if
I'm wrong) the 262, 265, 267, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350, 383 (combination
of 350 and 400 parts) and the sb 400 (which was made by joining the cylendar
walls together in order to keep the same dimensions as the rest of the 
blocks).  And all of these blocks can use the same heads, water pumps,
starters, fuel pumps, exhaust manifolds, timing chain covers, intake
manifolds, oil pans, and distributors.  Although I would not want to use
262 heads on a 350 in a street engine the compression would be so high
detonation would be a constant problem.
