Big M Aluminum Chevy Big Block
Steel Main Caps

With multiple deck heights and bore sizes up to 4.600, the Big M Sportsman block gives you the versatility to build a wide variety of engine combinations. A true priority main oiling system oils the main bearings before the lifters for extra reliability.

Features:

  • Standard 9.800 and tall 10.200 deck heights available for stroker engines.
  • Standard 4.250 , 4.500 or 4.600 bore sizes with siamesed extra thick cylinder walls to resist cracking and improve ring seal (minimum .300 thick with 4.625 bore).
  • Uses +.300 tall Gen VI style lifters. Modification for Gen IV style available.
  • Scalloped outer water jacket walls improve coolant flow around the cylinder barrels to equalize temperatures.
  • 2 bolt front and rear and 4 bolt interior ductile iron main caps have splayed outer bolts for extra strength OR 4 bolt billet steel main caps have splayed outer bolts for extra strength.
  • Crankshaft tunnel has clearance for a 4.500 stroke crank with steel rods without grinding.
  • True priority main oil system lubricates the main bearings before the lifters. Our stepped main oil gallery (9/16 to 1/2 to 7/16) increases the flow of oil to the crank at high rpm, and our front oil crossover eliminates internal oil leaks around the distributor shaft.
  • Oil filter pad is drilled and tapped for an external oil pump.
  • Available in traditional Gen IV style, or in Gen V or Gen VI style with one piece rear seal.
  • Lifter valley head stud bosses prevent blown head gaskets.
  • Rear main cap uses standard oil pump and two piece seal no adapter required!
  • Mechanical fuel pump boss, clutch linkage mounts, and side and front motor mounts simplify installation in any chassis.
  • Dual oil pan bolt patterns fit standard and notched oil pans.

I had a great experience shopping at autoplicity

Great price found for my product. excellent customer service and my item was in stock.

Ordering was very easy and product was delivered within a week. I ordered a battery and it was received in good condition and works. I would recommend autoplicity to others.

Great

This is our second order from Autoplicity. The first one didn't go so well due to a mix up with the Sparco seat pricing. Though I was starting to question our decision to order from them after several emails and phone calls and online chats, they came through in the end. These guys earned our second order by honoring the price they had listed and then calling to follow up when our race seat was shipped. Since this group was able turn our bad experience into a positive one we made our second order and, so far, it looks like they are again getting us what we want at the best price we can find. We are happy to recommend Autoplicty and plan on using them for future orders. There is one specific thing we would recommend, change the quality and volume of the hold music on the 800 #. It sounded like we were calling a 1970's van with a blown Jensen stereo turned all the way up,...

Shipped very quickly and had the best price I could find!

Great prices on most things. Ordered on a sunday and they processed and shipped the order the next day.

first order fast shipping and great fit

The whole process was some and quick. They also had the lowest prices available. Will be using them more often for sure!!

This was my first order with Autoplicity and I am very happy. They had the lowest price on-line that I found. Communication was great and shipping was very fast. I ordered late on Thursday and it was at my house the following Tuesday, and I didn't pay for rush shipping. I got exactly what I expected. Will do business with these guys again.

it's a great company had the lowest price anywhere that i could find even online. great customer service that will even help you track your order all the way to your house. thanks autoplicity for helping me out and for being there with the lowest price when i needed you.
