ZZ502 611hp.

572 has even more.

its still down on torque to a LSA and blown condor.
ZZ 502 is advertised 502hp carbureted. Ram jet a few more horses. I never saw adv HP

I raced a new ZZ502 (gm deluxe, assembled, carb to pan) and when the time came to rebuild learned how sloppy a crate motor is built. Rod weights were far off, misaligned cylinder bores, deck sloped. We straighten out the block and sold it to buy a brodix alum block.


I wouldn't waste time buying another gm performnce crate motor

If you are talking BBC, these guys build better crate motors:
Reher Morrison
Sonny Leonard
Shaffiroff
