I think nobody builds big blocks anymore because there is not that big of a market to support the big blocks. Big blocks are few and far between in the automotive manufacturing industry. Trucks with the big blocks were a middle ground between the 6.0 and the diesel. The torque produced was not fuel efficient at all. With that much torque, why not just spend the extra 4 grand and buy the diesel and get better gas mileage and torque.

Nice runs...The reason imo that big blocks are obsolete is 1) Diesels and 2) With the redesign of the small block , we now have a raised cam etc. and more room to get the same cid out of a small block while retaining decent milage and a weight savings..Not to mention it saves GM a lot of money focusing on one line of v8's
