With the older Chevy stuff - mid-50s to 70s - they had three basic V-8 blocks - small block, big block, and the "other". The "other" has a name - just can't recall it - W Block maybe? Small blocks included (at least) the 265-283-302-305-307-327-350-400. Big blocks included 366-396-402-427-454. The other - 348-409-427. Note - the odd-ball "other" 427 is extremely rare and only a few were made.
The GM diesels - 379 (6.2 litre) and the 396 (6.5 litre) use the same small-block Chevy bolt pattern. Also keep in mind that Chevy changed the standard bolt pattern back around 40 years ago - I don't recall exactly when. But - a 265 V-8 out of a 55 Chevy has a different bolt-pattern than, let's say, a 1970 vintage 350.
