Pretty cool.

I suspect that what was meant was the smallest dimension V-8 that would actually fit in a car and power it.

In the States there was a small Buick V-8 that was all aluminum. I think it displcaced 235 cu. in. or so. (A variant of this ran in the Triumph TR-8, in case you feel like you need to find one that leaks oil) And I believe that it is still in Rovers here in the US.

I believe that the Ford small blocks in the US are smaller yet in dimension (289/ 302) Not sure if the same block exists down under. They can be identified with a couple of measurements. The main way to tell is the deck height of the block. A 302 has 8.2" (208.8mm) from the centerline of the crankshaft to the deck of the block and a 351 Windsor is 9.2".

A quick look at Wikipedia shows that the short deck block was not readily available in Australia so the 302 or 351 that you find there was of the "Cleveland" variety. Good power ability, but slightly larger in physical dimension than a Small block Chevy.
