Here's why:
* Displacement: The 360 Dodge engine has a displacement of 5.9 liters (360 cubic inches). This puts it in the "small block" category.
* Block Design: Small block engines typically have a smaller overall block size and fewer cylinders than big blocks.
* Common Applications: Dodge 360s were commonly used in cars, trucks, and vans, which are applications more common for small block engines.
To be considered a big block, a Dodge engine would have to be a 400, 426 Hemi, 440, or 500 engine. These engines have significantly larger displacements and are known for their power and torque.
