Chevy ZZ572/720R Base Engine
You'll notice the bright orange powder-coated 572 block. You'll feel the aluminum rectangular-port heads and 12:1 forged aluminum pistons. The ZZ572 - 720 horsepower model is the ultimate big block for all out performance on the street or strip. The ZZ572/720 base long block includes all the features of the Deluxe engine, without the the carburetor, intake manifold, water pump, distributor and spark plug wires. This engine option lets you of use parts like a carb that you may already have. If you have to buy a carb, the 1090 CFM Demon 4 barrel works perfectly on a tall deck intake. An HEI distributor and performance ignition system are a good combo.
