“Small block” …
“Small block” refers not to displacement, per se, but to the design itself. The Chevy “small-block” was made in displacements from 262 cu in to 400 cu in. The blocks were all the same outside. Ford “small-blocks” were made from 221 to 400 cu. in. Mopars from 273 to 360. There’s no “official” definition, just common usage.

How is any engine …
How is any engine over 300 ci a small block? 300 ci is about 4.9 litres, which is pretty big. Now, the original 2.5L, or a Rover 3.5 or 3.9 could be considered small block, but anything over 4L is not a small block.
