Discontinued
ZZ572/720R Base Engine
From the special, orange powder-coated 572 block, aluminum rectangular-port heads, and 12:1 forged aluminum pistons, the ZZ572/720R long block includes all the features of the Deluxe, minus the water pump, carburetor, water intake manifold, distributor, and spark plug wires. This gives you the option of using a carb you already have.
GM Performance Parts integrated, durability-tested, and validated this combination and determined it works best with the Deluxe version’s 1090-cfm Demon four-barrel carburetor, tall-deck single-plane intake manifold, HEI distributor, aluminum shortstyle water pump, and 8 mm spark plug wires. Order all the parts to complete the engine from your GM Performance Parts dealer or finish with your custom parts.
NOTE: Intended for pre-1977 street vehicles and all off-road vehicles. Not intended for marine use.
Possible Applications
- Build a solid 9-second bracket car
- A street car with no equal
- A show car that shakes the trophies out of the judge’s pocket
