Re: got called out I would call on him about the 454 lt1 but 600 horse is very well in reach with a n/a small block. I got one I will sell you and its only a lil'ol 355

Re: got called out hmmmm, how much u wan tfor it?
of course, if he is bullshitting on that, would u figure that he is an idiot with a 600 hp vette, or an idiot who wants me 2 think he is badder than he really is?
cause i know without a doubt that my velle will beat ANY stock bigblock made in 76

Re: got called out I don't know much about old school cars... but I know there's the LT1 and the LT-1 (same for LS motors)... so could they be BBC and SBC?
EDIT:
FWIW I did a quick search:
1974: Chevrolet substitutes lighter, thinner head castings on most production small-block applications in an attempt to reduce vehicle mass for improved fuel economy. These '74-up heads are more prone to cracking, have less material left after radical porting, and should be avoided. This is the final year for the big-block (454) Corvettes; afterwards it's 350 all the way (overlooking a few sickly 305s).
also saw:
1970: The discontinuation of the 327 and arrival of the 370hp, 380-lb-ft LT-1 is clear proof that Chevrolet has fully embraced the 350 as its flagship small-block performance motor. Available in Corvette and the redesigned '70 1/2 Camaro Z-28 (with 360hp and 360-lb-ft of torque) the LT-1 packs a solid cam and 11,0:1 compression and is an instant legend.
So seems LT-1 was a small block too... ?

Re: got called out Horist is right. The LT-1 was the 350 found in the early 70s vettes and Z28s. The LS6 was the big block 454. As far as I know, there is no such thing as a 454 LT-1, unless they changed the name of the 454 after 1971, which I am 99.9% sure they didn't.
