Both of your engine compartments look REALLY good!

Although I would think that 572" would make more then 620hp... it must be pretty mild.....Awesome street engine...

Keep us updated on the build...

You can get the Performance Parts ZZ572 620 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque

Or the The ZZ572/720R is rated at 720 horsepower at 6250 rpm and 685 lb.-ft. of torque at 4500 rpm.
The 720 needs race gas 12:1 compression

You can start with a short block and build it up about whatever HP you want.

I decided the anything near 620 is plenty for my application. Just cruising.

Auto or stick? wondering about the clutch linkage cross shaft. I am in procsess of installing a gen 6 with no pivot ball mount on the block. I used a scoggin dickey bracket. Although the cross shaft hit the header as the ball is farther away from the block. I need to break the weld on the vertical shaft and move it torward the motor 3/8.

Nice deal with the 572 the c3's look to have NO master cyl clearance issues with the GM perf V covers. Mine did
