Chevy and Ford have both made 400+ ci engines they didn't consider "big block".
Ford doesn't have to, Megasquirt and others already exist that can be adapted to virtually anything.
Exactly my point. There isn't just one factor that determines if the engine is a big block, but a combination. They also made big blocks that were less then 400 cubic inches. I'm talking about the combination of factors that are generally accepted in the automotive world (mainly classic cars) that defines the difference between a small block and a big block. Look it up if you have the time someday, it's kind of interesting and goes through some automotive history as to why each engine was labeled as such.

Dammit. I need more money, time and maybe a cooler job working with those guys...
That ol' International Harvester V8 diesel will outlast the rest of the truck, gets twice the fuel economy of Godzilla, and has the best sound of any diesel not made by Cummins. Don't touch it.I want one for the 'dump truck', the 7.3 turbo diesel has 600k on it now and I won't even have to change the badges!!!!
That's a 10 second run with a T400 behind it. Imagine it with a 10R80 in drag mode.

It has not been touched, never been chipped, complete exhaust still in place, gets 12 mpg and will still pull a house down the road, just not very fast, starting to develop blow by out the dipstick tube.That ol' International Harvester V8 diesel will outlast the rest of the truck, gets twice the fuel economy of Godzilla, and has the best sound of any diesel not made by Cummins.

In that case, Godzilla will get about the same gas mileage... but still, that ol' IH 7.3 can be rebuilt for less, and with a fresh build you can turn up the boost and replace the injector pump with something a little more stout and be making a lot more power, and get another 600k out of it.It has not been touched, never been chipped, complete exhaust still in place, gets 12 mpg and will still pull a house down the road, just not very fast, starting to develop blow by out the dipstick tube.
For 10k budget a Godzilla can be a consideration.
