Maybe, Craig should have mentioned the '49 Cadillac V8 was redesigned in '56 and there was an entirely new engine in the late '60s. They didn't get from 331" to 500" with the same engine.
Good point; whereas Packard could have gone from 320CID to 500CID with the same basic engine. How is that "typical practice and ... nothing special"? The biggest production Gen I Chebbie SBC was 400CID and Pontiac's was 455CID. Aftermarket engine builders have gone larger, of course, but the point of this post was OEM.
