New Ford 7.3 V8
I see people calling this a “big block” engine. Is it part of a series of engines of different displacements based on a common “big” block?

^Yeah GM is still sucking wind in the gas HD truck engines, even with the new 6.6. Maybe they'll be under rated, hopefully.
As to old engines, what about 351M Ford big blocks, 360 GM truck motors and old 360 Chrysler big blocks.
LS7 is a really big small block too.....
I thought both the W and C engines were small blocks and the M was a big block, but I don't know Fords very well. I do know parts aren't interchangeable worth a cr@p between an old 302 and a 351 though.
Ha, didn't know the 348 was the predecessor to the 409. Makes sense as the 348 was the big engine before the 409.
