Tall deck, short deck, etc. are the proper terms for block sizes that vary externally only by deck height. Journal size isn't an external dimension and has no relevance for either terminology.

ahhh, a devil's advocate I see.
The first example is silly.... Let's keep it to mass production. I already explained BBP and SBP.
SBP = 256\301
BBP = all other Pontiac blocks
Take all the details in consideration, the journal size, rod length and deck height. So you tell me. How is a Pontiac NOT a big block?
