The big block Chevy – also known as the BBC or “heavy Chevy “ – has remained a popular choice for hot rods and engine swaps since its introduction in the late 1950s. Originally, the W-series big block displaced just 348 cubic inches (eventually expanded to 409 cubic inches). Later designs, including the legendary 396 and 454, made the big block Chevrolet V8 a popular choice for both drag racers and circle track racers alike.
