someone told me once that for all small block chevys it is the same block just different rods and other various things but i was not sure is this was true. i mean what makes a 327 differ from a 350 i mean the 327 has longer rods right that what makes less c.u. and the 350 has shorter rods.

and what does it mean to have and engine bored and stroked i know what it means to bored and engine but what does it mean to stroke one.

and that brings me to my last question what is a 383 stroker engine what does it mean to be a stroker.
