Small Blocks

Correct lifter bore angle, thicker cylinder walls and shorter deck height, lighter pistons with shorter pin height. Six head bolts per cylinder. Oiling system that oils rods and crankshaft first. Heads with no two exhaust valves together like a Foooord.
Shorter deck height would effect the 360's stroke and the rod to stroke ratio of the 318's and 340's. Otherwise I agree with you
