Description

The legendary L88 was the pinnacle of Chevy’s Big-Block power, and the
ZZ427/480 crate engine carries that spirit with modern updates that enhance
performance, making it the ultimate expression of Chevy heritage for your
classic Corvette.
Like the original, our ZZ427/480 combines a sturdy iron cylinder block with
lightweight aluminum cylinder heads and a single four-barrel carburetor.
That raspy crate engine was rated at 430 horsepower, although the figure was
generally thought to be on the conservative side. We’ve upgraded the camshaft
from the original’s mechanical flat-tappet design to a smoother hydraulic roller,
which delivers great drivability characteristics and a broader rev range. A 10.1:1
compression ratio means it will perform great on pump gas.
