I'm not aware of anything going in a consumer based vehicle that would really be considered a big block, the Godzilla is probably the closest one. Once you get into medium duty trucks and larger they get huge but also tend to go to diesel. As Sunman mentioned below there is the ZZ632, and many other new big block engines being made for aftermarket setups.

We even got em in old pickups here in the 405
I'd love to have one of the ZZ632's, or even the 572 but wouldn't put it in my Cobra, they are very cool and sound amazing. That price tag on the 632 is a bit scary though.
