$21K...hmmmmm....I wonder how many people will drop that kind of coin on that motor...

I know i wouldnt you can get that kinda power out a ls1 ls2 or ls3 for well under that price

Absolutely.

its just for bragging rights IMO, but as stated, you can get that much outta AND more, outta an LS1,2,6, My favorite, the LS7 :drool: , or just get an LSX block, build it up the way you want it.

We can get all the LS family create engines you want.

15k for a decent c5 + 20k for and ls9 = cheap zr1 :nod:

21k is pretty good

so who is buying one for their fbody? lol

Wanna give me 21k ill do it

Donations anyone

there was word circulating that a guy has already dropped a stroker in his camaro. this is the next logical step. you know someone is doing it or has plans to do it, just to say it can be done.

a nicely built 350 create for a faction of that and you can take on zr1's all day

but not have the driveability!

The ZR1 is much, MUCH more than just horsepower. ;)

Nope

:?:

well its the most powerful out the box motor i guess

I'm pretty sure that it is the most powerful mass-produced engine that they have ever made. Can't think of anything rated any higher.

Might be some one-off type things that were higher, but nothing production.

ZZ572 720 crate

The 1970 LS6 was rated a conservative 450 HP for certian reasons but it was more like 650 HP, and they were installed in more than 4,000 1970 chevelles.The only other motor that might come close is the all aluminum 1969 ZL1 427.Im not sure what the HP was.

WBT, that engine is not in a production vehicle. It no count, lol.

Ron, really? Wow.

Original post did not mention that the engine had to have an RPO code associated with it. Matters not. ZZ572 is the big dog. :mrgreen:

True dat!

There's a copy of the ZL1 dyno test somewhere on the web. I forget the actual numbers but I know it picked up 80hp when they disconnected the stock exhaust, and the 430hp number was reached by shutting the dyno off early.

Also, do not confuse Gross vs. Net HP... LS6 was 450hp gross.
