The uses for both types of motors are more or less intertwined. Big blocks produce more brute torque than small blocks, so they would be more commonly found in large trucks, or trucks designed to be heavy duty workhorses. Small blocks can do the same, except they are less efficient for such applications. They are more used in cars, small to medium duty trucks, and once in a great while, heavy trucks.

Kā reiz ir tieši otrādāk - big block - liels virzuļa diametrs, attiecīgi liela izmēra galvas, lasīt iepriekš - "Chevy's 396ci engine is considered a big block because like all chevy big blocks, the bore diameters are wide, the strokes are short, the heads are relatively big"

Es tachu teicu - tais tekstos var kaajas aplauzt! Tieshi torgue lielaaks ir motoriem ar relatiivi garaaku virzulja gaajienu un liidz ar to lielaaku klokjenes diametru - t.i. -lielaaks attaalums no pamatkaklinja centra liidz klanja apaksheejaa gultnja centram - lielaaks griezes moments. Tai tekstaa ir sajaukti big,short,small un nezinkas veel! Jo dzineejiem ar iisaaku virzulja gaajienu attieciibaa pret virzulja diametru nevar buut lielaaks torgue kaa dzineejiem ar garaaku gaajienu pie taada pat virzulja diametra!
