Big Block Crate Engine - ZZ572/620 Deluxe Engine

Proving the adage that there’s no replacement for displacement, the ZZ572/620 Deluxe is the ultimate expression of Chevrolet Performance’s engineering capability, wrapped up in a soul-stirring combination of performance and attitude. We build the ZZ572 with huge 4.560-inch bores and a 4.375-inch stroke to help it deliver 621 horsepower and a stunning 645 lb.-ft. of torque.

Strength comes from a brand-new, latest-generation block casting with four-bolt main caps and an all-forged rotating assembly. High-flow aluminum rectangular-port cylinder heads and a hydraulic roller camshaft—with incredible 0.632/0.632-inch lift and 254/264-degree duration specifications—work together to optimize airflow across the rpm band. We deliver the ZZ572/620 Deluxe with an 850-cfm carburetor, HEI distributor, aluminum water pump and distinctive orange powder-coated valve covers. If your project vehicle can handle the torque, the ZZ572/620 has all the power you need!
