Big Block Factory Question

Were there any 4x4's with a Big Block? I was told they didn't make any but figured this would be the place to check.

Re: Big Block Factory Question

No 4x4 came from the factory with a BB. 350 was the largest engine.

Re: Big Block Factory Question

70cst is correct, no big block 4x4s.
I believe the reason is not much room under the hood by the firewall. The 4x4s had the engine sitting in the rear mounts because of trans case and front diff locations.
Doesn't mean it can't be done however...

Re: Big Block Factory Question

I know it could be done, I just didn't know they weren't produced from the factory. I'll do a D-Max swap before a BB.
