which is also a small block chevy,
but that is all it has in common with the famous small
block chevy that has been around for so long.
Completely different design, no interchangeable parts.

My original El Camino engine was worn out after 300,000 miles. I had a brand new 350, not rebuilt or remanufactured, but new engine delivered to my door for $1,700. I just swapped over the accessories from the old engine and the intake and fired it up. It is no wonder so many 32 Ford coupes have a Chevy small block.
