New As Seen On PowerNation TV Part at Summit Racing Equipment: Chevrolet Performance ZZ427 Crate Engine
Tallmadge, OH (PRWEB) July 21, 2015 -- Chevrolet Performance offers an all-out performance motor inspired by the legendary L88 Corvette Stingray. The Chevrolet Performance ZZ427 Crate Engine delivers 480 horsepower and 444 lbs.-ft. of torque, and was featured on PowerNation TV's Engine Power.
The ZZ427 starts with a 7.0L (427 CID) iron block with a forged steel crankshaft and forged aluminum pistons. The block is fitted with high-flow, oval-port aluminum cylinder heads with 110cc combustion chambers. The ZZ427 uses an HEI distributor, plus an aluminum intake manifold topped with a Holley 770 CFM carburetor. The high-lift hydraulic roller cam delivers an excellent blend of drivability and performance. A 10.1:1 compression ratio means the motor will have no problems running on regular pump gas.
Chevrolet Performance designed this motor for pre-1976 street vehicles, but the monster mill is also right at home at the track. In fact, fans of PowerNation TV’s Engine Power probably noticed a ZZ427 Crate Engine living between the fenders of the team’s “Lime Dime S-10” race truck. The guys put the engine on the dyno in stock trim and confirmed Chevrolet Performance’s torque and horsepower figures. With a few engine modifications, the ZZ427 powered the Lime Dime through several blistering fast quarter mile runs at the track.
