  Small-block - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A small-block engine is a North American V8 in a family of engines which generally have less than 6 liters (360 cubic inches) of displacement, although some derivatives have grown larger (up to 427 cubic inches, 7.0 litres).
The term "block" refers to a piston engine engine cylinder block, which is the lower portion of a piston engine containing the pistons and cylinder bores.
For example, engines ranging from the 4.8L Vortec 4800 to the 7.0L LS7 are all GM small block V8s, and share the same general external dimensions.

This 2.2 liter engine was eventually expanded to 2.5 liters, and fuel injection and turbocharging was added.
This same engine was expanded to 2.4 liters for use in the Cirrus/Stratus/Breeze and later used in a number of Chrysler small cars and minivans.

A V8 engine is a V engine with eight cylinders.
The V8 is a common engine configuration in the highest echelons of motorsport, especially in the USA where it is required in IRL, ChampCar and NASCAR.
Smaller engines, known as small-block V8s, were fitted in the mid-size car ranges and generally displaced between 4.4 L (270 in³) and 6.0 L (360 in³), though some grew as large as Ford's 6.7 L (408 in³) 400 Cleveland.

 The 2.4 liter four-cylinder Chrysler-Dodge engine
It is similar to the 2.0-liter Neon engine in design and construction, but has a longer stroke, a taller block, a dual overhead camshaft cylinder head and dual counter-rotating balance shafts that reduce engine vibration.
Camshaft drive is similar to the 2.0-liter SOHC engine but the intake and exhaust cams have separate drive sprockets.
When the engine is running, the balance shafts pump oil out of the housing to minimize parasitic drag which could occur if the shafts spun in the oil.

The V8 is a common engine configuration in the highest echelons of motorsport, especially in the USA where it is required in Indy Racing League IRL, ChampCar and NASCAR.
Since many V6 engines are derived from V8 designs, they often use the 90° angle as well, but with more complex cranks to even the firing cycle.
Smaller engines, known as small-block V8s, were fitted in the mid-size car ranges and generally displaced between 4.4 L (270 in³) and 6.0 L (360 in³), though some grew as large as Ford's 6.7 L (408 in³) ''Ford 335 engine#400 400 Cleveland''.

 Jeep 4.0 liter six cylinder engine
When the 4.0 first came out, AMC was using two six cylinder engines, a troublesome 2.8 liter V6 from General Motors (with a problematic Ford carburetor) and AMC's own 258 CID straight-six, with 4.2 liters of displacement, that the 4.0 itself was based on.
It left the V6 engines from Ford, GM and Chrysler in the dust.
Logically, the engine group did what they were told to satisfy the dealers...."Make a modern engine, and junk the old ones." This statement is my opinion, based on conversations at the time.
