BIG news

I found out today from a friend of mine that Chevy is coming out with a new crate engine. A big block 572 , thats right 572 cubes

Specs:
572 CID
Forged steel crank and rods
Forged Alum. pistons
Aluminum heads

Now on this one engine, not sure if it will be sold exactly like this one.

850 Demon Carb.
High rise intake
620 HP @flywheel


So start saving up. It hasn't been released yet for sale so you have time. Those 502's are just too small

Yeah, if 600+ ft/lb of torque won't shred up a 10-bolt (or even most 9" Dorfs) then not much will. Looks like it's time to get a bigger body.

Maybe by then Mama's beater will be ready for some more mods. 600+ HP and torque is about right for an Impala..

The first public appearence of that engine was this past Saturday morning on "Trucks!" on TNN. It was Chevy's retaliation to the Ford 514 and Dodge 528. If you ask me, it's a damn good retaliation.

In other news:

Have you guys ever seen the 632ci. crate engine in Summit? 900+ hp NA. $17,300. Now THAT! is bad ***.

Too bad even if I had one of those, I'd still hear, "dude, my LS1 will waste you."

My go-kart has a 6 horsepower. Right now it won't start. Looks like I need one of these. The cart is direct drive. This should be interesting.
