About the 90° V Small Block

The 90° Series includes the 255, 260, 289, 302, and 351W. The W stands for Windsor, the plant at which these engines were assembled. Except for the 351W, these engines are nearly identical and most parts interchange. The 351W is considerably different.

About the 335 Series Small Block

The 335 Series include the 351C (C is for Cleveland), the 351M (M is for Modified Cleveland) and the 400. The 351M began life in 1975 and shares the same bore and stroke as all other 351s, but not much else. The M and C engines share almost no interchangeable parts. The 400 is a 351M with a longer stroke. The 351M and 400 share almost all parts.

About the FE Series Big Block

This group includes the 352, 390, 406, 410, 427, and 428 cid engines. All these engines share most parts with little or no modification. Obvious exceptions would be pistons and rings.

About the 385 Series Big Block

This series is perhaps the most sought-after since it is made out of the 429 and 460. Rebuilds of these engines make for some extremely high horsepower and torque ratings. These two engines share most parts with the major exceptions being valve and pistons size differences.
