For what purpose? Not saying it's a bad choice but why would you go with a big block 348 instead of a 350 or larger small block? Or a larger big block?

Oh... from your earlier post I didn't think the 348 came in el camino's/chevelles (you only mentioned impalas.)
Also the small block came as a 305 which you didn't mention... code L04 and LB9 comes to mind.

The 348's were in the 1st gen el caminos(1959-60), which shared the same frame as the impala, bel air, biscayne etc, 58-61.

Chevelles didn't recieve 348's(discontinued already) or 409's(available in larger cars) since they were released as a 64 model, and the 409 was being phased out at that time.

The 305 was a later model small block.

So what im getting from this is...Yes, there is one 350 BB but it was pointless once they could make a 350 SB? Being the SB had the same displacement but was smaller and lighter. Correct?

PS never bet with someone who "doesn't lose", it just means that they don't pay.

A 348 isn't a 350.

348's were made in the late 50's early 60's. The 350 was first used in 67.
