Savoy Automobile Museum announced the opening of its latest temporary exhibit, “Small Block Muscle,” which will be on display now through November 9, 2025. The small-block engine was a lightweight, compact V-8 engine designed by Chevrolet in 1955. It combined performance with practicality. Other manufacturers also had their small-block engines that were high in performance and did not fit the big-block category. The exhibit features various manufacturers’ small-block vehicles through the years.
