the reason c20xe's are called big blocks is because they are much bigger!!! not for a laugh either, they are bigger as they are a much bigger bore.

meh not even gonna go into it, simply NO

Why? 2 litre pistons in a 1.6?

As said bores are far too tight on the small blocks to go as large as 2.0... 1.65-1.7 is probably sketchy :p

Hmm good point, 1.8, X18XE1 lol Think it's stroked though, rather than larger bore.

You can get up near 1800 on std stroke, but the wall thickness between cylinders is very thin bored that far. Read it in an old PNG news, compton CJ's uncle did it infact. Rob Compton.
