The smallest displacement SBC was a 260ci unit from the early days (mid 50's). The least powerful was probably the 262ci made in 1975 for the 48 state Monza putting out ~115HP. Arguably the most powerful was the 350/350HP vette motor of the late 60's. All these figures are for the conventional 1953 to 199(2?) production small blocks. Significant changes occurred after that time. The current Z06 350ci has an output of 385HP. As a point of intrest, the most powerfull production big block was the LS7 built for the Chevelle in 1970. This motor was rated at 450HP at 3700RPM for insurance purposes. Actual output was 560HP @ 5500RPM!
And yes, my garage is full of tunnel rams, heads, headers, engines, carbs of all types, Porsche fuel injection units, mufflers, turbos, complete engines, exhausts. You name it and it's probably there.
