I really don't think there is that big of a market for a Camaro with a big block in it besides a hand full of people.

Those old high horsepower cars used solid lifters which are no longer really used on street cars anymore. Not only that but the small block has no problems hitting what were once big block horsepower levels. combine that with the added weight and the fact that the modern car isn't just expected to go well in a line.

I think it would be a huge mistake and waste of development dollars to develop a new big block to place in a Camaro. I even think that the idea of using a big block for the trucks is dead.
