The GM small-block series was a \"clean sheet\" design with only the rod bearings and bore spacing in common in terms of shared parts with the classic Chevrolet small block V8. The basic layout owes a good deal to the essential concept of Ed Cole's original small-block design of 1954-55, though the small-block engine also uses design cues from Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac engines. Some small-block engines are all-aluminum, especially the performance oriented engines, while others are cast iron.*note: to be perfectly clear, Gen I v-8 engines are Chevrolet while Gen II and up are GM small-block engines.The small-block engine has been the main powerplant of the Chevrolet Corvette from 1956 to 2015 and has seen use in a wide variety of other General Motors vehicles, ranging from sport coupes to full size trucks. Due to the engine's relatively compact external dimensions compared to its displacement and power output, the engine family is also a popular choice for engine swaps, import cars, kit cars, hot rods, boats, buggies, and even light aircraft."@en }
