Well the correct answer is out there. Its just lost in the mists of time gone by and countless millions of people airing thoughts and opinions. I asked the guy about where he got that info and the answer makes a lot of sense. He certainly knows his history and does not seem to be making it up...

ok thanks for answers. Interesting that no GM service manual ever mentioned those terms. i'd also "guess" that the public and end users of the cars with these engines started calling them Big and Small. It certainly isn't the sort of term that engineers would use!! It's like the public...
