572 big block

[Skinny]

I HAVE seen a 572 in a 4th gen Camaro. Not sure what year it was, but it was early 4th gen style (93-97). I'm not sure it would cost you anywhere near the 40k range but it sure wouldn't be cheap... I bet it could be done for less than 20k though.

The motor is like $10,000 isnt it, assuming he'll want bigger heads, bigger cam.


I'd say minimum of $20,000. Custom work can get really expensive and it would take some creativity to get it in there.


You'll need a 9 in or a 12 bolt. $3,000 range. Tranny that will hold up, another $3,000 min. All the suspension, sub frames, LCA's, everything or it will bend the **** out of that chassis.

You'll look at $18,000 or so just in parts alone I'd say. Then tack the labor on top I wouldnt want to imagine. That work is expensive. Hell, most shops want $800 to change head gaskets, I'd hate to see the bill for building a custom sub frame to fit in a 572.

Some shop will have to do some major fabricating, that will cost some money.

If youre serious call up hardcore racing (810) 787-2960, read in camaro performers they can do anything.


Why not set up a 408 stroker with a couple turbo's whistling some music if you have the money?

the 572 has two diffrent versions:

the zz572/620 deluxe:
pn 12498793
cost 11944.20
list 17063.14
this one has 620 hp @5500 rpm and 650 ftq @ 4500 rpm

and the zz572/720r deluxe:
cost 13081.50
list 18687.86
this on has 720hp @ 6250 rpm and 685ftq @ 4500rpm

cost is what the dealer pays yall would pay somewhere inbetween cost and list most likely somewhere between 20-30% over cost. these prices are from the GM 1800# so they are correct.

A big block has a lot more aftermarket and a lot more potential to make power than any LS1/2/6/7.
