Looks like a parts shop but good at packaging. Did you get a small block in your suitcase or one in each hand for that natural balanced gaitsmile

Dont be showing Richard silly n/a engines like that lol

Good in the US where engine bays are huge, weight doesnt matter, and fuel is almost free.


I think I'll stick with an LS motor though

Someone's been watching Overhaulin' a bit too much!

That 572 is some beast... love to see one this side of the pond

I think that ringram dude is getting into people's heads, talking cubes and such, like it's all about who has the most displacement! I tell you, it's about how you use it and how hard you blow! But still love those red rocker covers.. awesome power plant!

Clearly depends on which tape measure you use: only sure way is to measure it on both tape measures back to back! Ps, bonnet up or bonnet down?? (Was that bonnet or did I mean helmet?

Something strange there....but that looks like horrific power delivery.

Im betting they didnt get on the throttle until around 5000rpm. Also thats a lot, so its might have been on NOS..

EFA

"Maybe I can find and post the dyno video. This one is solid after being a dyno mule for testing intakes and cams all on pump gas. The stock LS7 intake, LS7 head, pump gas set-up was just over 700 HP and 650 tq. in this mild set-up. With a 250 NOS shot it made 922 HP and just over 900 ft/lbs. all below 6300. What a street sleeper since the idle and lack of FI wouldn't indicate 900 HP,900 ft/lb on tap.
With the sheet metal intake it has spun up to 7300 (thanks to the bulletproof Carrillo rods,Wiseco pistons) to see where it quit making power since it was still climbing at 6300. That 7300 was with a 4.5 stroke, no dry sump, hydraulic lifters. The lifters are bushed and lengthened to improve the oil pressure.
We are installing a similar LS7 head/ intake version in a 2005 GTO as a sleeper. I guess we'll see if the tires will work as a fuse or the IRS can handle the massive torque. His plan is to keep as stock appearance as possible and have a crazy driver with all that off idle HP and tq.
We are producing these and have the cranks, but from doing some calculating makes it obvious that the other 9.7 and 9.8" "tall deck" blocks are better suited for shorter strokes. This motor showing at SEMA last year put the pressure on to handle a 4.5 stroke in their "tall blocks". The 6.8 rod/ 4.5 stroke/ long sleeve in this engine eliminates the skirt scuffing, side loading, piston rock and oil burning typical in stroker motors. I know a hundred people are going to say that theres works great, but you have to admit the ideal set-up leaves the piston in the bore, not in the crankcase. You even have room to run a full round skirt for big HP applications, since reluctor wheel clearance isn't an issue.
The pat pending deckplate design actually improves head gasket sealing and cooling over a typical solid deck. That is how we have small 2L (120 ci) turbo motors making 900 whp with ridiculous cylinder pressures that are sealing with (4) 11mm head bolts per cylinder, no o-ring, MLS gaskets on what was originally a 1.6L block.
It would be interesting to see if the head mfg.'s or porters are looking at unshrouding the valves for big bore blocks like this, our other 4.200 bore std. deck height block and the cast iron GM coming? Their looks to be a great deal to be gained in flow from looking at the LS7 heads with the exhaust valve tight to the chamber wall and the spark plug in the way. The intake would benefit as well."
