Big M Sportsman series
blocks are engineered to be
strong, reliable, easy to
build and affordable. 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.

- 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).

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.

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.

tapped for an external oil
pump.
- 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.
