Big engines
 

I ask how many Corvettes of this forum have a big engine mounted on it.. Gentlemen please show me your engines... thanks!!!!!!!!!.

I've never had any complaints about the size of my "vette's engine.


Scott

Hi Scott, could you tell me your big cubic inches of your vette`s and post a picture of it. Thanks i love this big engines 540. 572 etc etc mounted on corvettes...


Alex

it's internal size, a big block Chevy is a big block Chevy. it makes no difference if its a 395 or a 572. same for a small block

Here's mine. 454, 11 to 1 comp ratio

Any internal modification, maybe different pistons etc..etc?. I like the air cleaner recipe tuned in black works better than original silver air cleaner of corvette factory...?. How much hps?..

Lovely vette i really like it....!!!!


Regads Alex.

i always think that there is no any sustitute for a cubic inch... but in this case i recognoize that you have the reason.!!!!!.

Alex.

I agree, there is no replacement for displacement! :thumbs:

WOW.... Awesome. Could you answer me a pair of questions please?

1-. You built by yourself this engine?

2-. It doesn`t where do you buy it how many hps have this engine?

3-. what tranny do you use have to do any modifications on it?

In my country Spain when a car has a big engine we called it MORLACO,( it`s the same thing called your car a best with horns) so you have a big morlaco in yor car... jajaja!!!. i really live verts.. my first vette was a 75 vert. Congrats for your great car.

Awesome too. This block has a aluminium body or only the valve covers???. I love 427`s all alumnium!!!!!!

does a real L88 qualify?

Here's another:

540 CI
11:1 Compression
254*, 0.67 Lift
Edelbrock Victor Jr CNC heads
Holley strip dominator intake.

Where do you buy it?. i have taken ideas.. thanks!!!!! Awesome brutus engine!!!!!

I built it. Family used to race cars back in the 70-80's. I still build a few engines every year; mostly for friends.

why most of you use iron block if you can use aluminium block to reduces weight in car and could be drive better with less weight on front end of the car?.

I like to see how you modify and build your own engines.... really great!!!!!!

Let us know how you like the VIc Jr heads, I don't understand why but they are always overlooked, great heads not much out there better, made 550HP on my prior small block 406ci and perfectly streetable, a pleasure to drive and would spin the tires at 40mph :cheers:
