What are the Chevy v8 motor sizes?

Chevrolet has produced a vast number of V8 engines over the years, with displacements ranging widely. It's impossible to list them all comprehensively. However, here are some of the *most common* and historically significant Chevy small-block and big-block V8 engine displacements (in cubic inches and liters):

Small-Block (generally 265-400 cubic inches):

* 265 ci (4.3L): One of the earliest small-blocks.

* 283 ci (4.6L): Popular in the late 50s and early 60s.

* 302 ci (4.9L): Used in various applications, including some Camaros.

* 305 ci (5.0L): A very common small-block, particularly in the 70s and 80s.

* 327 ci (5.4L): A legendary small-block performance engine.

* 350 ci (5.7L): Arguably the most iconic and prolific Chevy small-block.

* 383 ci (6.3L): Less common than the 350, but still significant.

* 400 ci (6.6L): A larger displacement small-block, often found in heavier vehicles.

Big-Block (generally 396-502 cubic inches):

* 396 ci (6.5L): A popular big-block known for its torque.

* 427 ci (7.0L): A legendary high-performance engine.

* 454 ci (7.4L): Another powerful big-block, often found in trucks and performance cars.

* 496 ci (8.1L) and 502 ci (8.2L): Large displacement versions often found in performance applications and marine use.

Modern LS-series (often considered a "small-block" evolution):

The LS series uses a variety of displacements, including but not limited to:

* 4.8L: Common in trucks and SUVs.

* 5.3L: Extremely common in many GM vehicles.

* 5.7L: Similar performance to a 350 small block but with modern technology.

* 6.0L: More powerful variants for performance applications and trucks.

* 6.2L: Powerful engine found in many high-performance vehicles.

* 7.0L: Very powerful, often used in high-performance applications.

This is not an exhaustive list, as Chevrolet has offered numerous variations and modifications of these engines over the decades. To find the exact engine size for a specific vehicle, you would need to consult the vehicle's documentation or identification numbers.
