Chevy ZZ572/720R Deluxe
ZZ572/720R crate engines are the meanest, nastiest motors on the market. With 720 HP and 685 ft lbs of torque, you're in for a thrill ride in whatever vehicle you put it in. Essentially, the engine package uses 12:1 pistons, a massive roller camshaft and tall deck bowtie heads in a ZZ572/620 HP engine block. Internal rotating components are forged for strength and durability. A 4340 forged steel crank is used along with shot peened forged steel rods and forged aluminum pistons. A solid roller camshaft has .714 inches of lift to feed the hungry big block.
The Deluxe ZZ572/720R comes with a 1090-cfm Demon four-barrel carburetor, tall-deck single-plane intake manifold, HEI distributor, aluminum short-style water pump and 8 mm spark plug wires. Distinctive “572” cast aluminum valve covers complete the package. You only need a starter to start it up.

- A street and race car
- Earth shattering neighbor waker
