 Big Block Crate Engines - GM Performance Parts
The king of all big block crate engines is the ZZ 502/502, with torque and horsepower that will have you grinning and streetable manners that have your competition wondering what hit them.
With its big valve aluminum heads, roller camshaft and complete dyno tuned induction and ignition system, this is as close as you will come to a custom built 502 at crate engine prices.
This new emission-legal (50 state) Retro-Kit engine conversion kit is designed for 1991-93 Chevrolet and GMC 10, 20 and 30-series trucks with 2-wheel drive, originally equipped with a 454 TBI engine and 4L80E automatic overdrive transmission.

 1967-69 Small Block to Big Block Engine Swap
The engine frame mounts are particular to the big block engine and also differ between the 67/68 style and the 69 style.
The big block-style mounts pull the engine forward away from the firewall and also tilt the engine towards the passenger side (RH side) of the car to make up for the large amount of torque produced by the larger cube engines.
The small block to big block swap in any Chevy is relatively easy, provided you have all the necessary tools and parts.

 American Metal Market: New GM engine will be big aluminum consumer
They are to be the first aluminum engines developed by GM exclusively for use in trucks, and the fact that the simultaneous engineering work has already gotten under way attests to the seriousness of the big automaker's lightweighting plans for those vehicles in order to improve fuel economy and emissions.
GM is expected to produce the principal components--including the blocks and heads--at its own casting plants, portions of which will be converted to the production of aluminum parts.
In some cases, GM is expected to purchase secondary specification alloy in the form of' ingot or molten metal from outside smelting suppliers for use in the engine castings.

 Big Block Big Tube Street Rod Header for GM Front Clips
Big Block Big Tube Street Rod Header for GM Front Clips
Patriot Exhaust Products has recently introduced a larger primary tube Chevy big block header that solves the exhaust problems created when grafting A, F and G General Motors uni-body front clip suspensions to street rods and muscle cars.
Patriot’s “Clippster” header part number H8013 uses longer primaries than block huggers that exit toward the rear of the engine compartment clearing steering and suspension components.

 Daily News by Radok News
Being overweight is nowhere near as big a killer as the government thought, ranking No. 7 instead of No. 2 among the nation's leading preventable causes of death, according to a startling new calculation from the CDC.
A GM spokesman said the employee-discount plan, which began on June 1, has been so successful that the company doesn’t have enough vehicles in stock to continue the program.
This engine was designed primarily for very large container ships, and is 89 feet long, 44 feet high, weighs in at 2300 tons, and delivers an amazing 108,920 horsepower!

 Fuel Injection Specialties - ACCEL ENGINE MANAGEMENT
The Injectork Fuel Injection System is a high torque system developed to enhance the low RPM power output of GM's big block engines.
The Big Block Chevy V8(396/402/427/454/502) is one of the most powerful and long lived gasoline engines ever built.
This ram effect is not practical on carbureted street engines because the fuel tends to puddle in the runners.

All the information on these engines and pictures of the ZZ572/620 have been put on pages in the Big-Block Chevrolet Performance Crate Engines section.
Since the pictures that GM supplied us with are no longer valid, we have taken some pictures of the first engine received and put new pictures up.
GM is announcing two versions, one that will be streetable and one that most likely only be seen at shows or on the track.

 1966 Chevy Big Block Engine Directory and Articles
One feature of GM`s Hybrid pickups that is likely to attract buyers is its two 120 volt power outlets inside the box near the tailgate, and another two 120 volt outlets inside the rear cab.
GM`s new gas-electric pickup truck, the Chevy Silverado Hybrid pickup, is the latest vehicle to take advantage of the gas-saving benefits of hybrid technology.
This design shuts the engine down before the tank is emptied, leaving enough gas to drive to a station for refueling.

 The Car Connection - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado HD - Bigger is better, especially in diesel trim.
Each of these engines is paired with a standard ZF S6-650 six-speed manual transmission, with an optional Allison 1000 five-speed automatic, offered for the first time on a GM Heavy Duty truck.
GM also offers an alternative-fuel engine; the Duramax 6600 diesel V-8, which replaces the 6.5-liter turbodiesel.
The base engine on the new models will take payloads of up to 3964 lb, on the 2500 series, while the 3500 versions will haul a payload as great as 5753 lb.

 Easy Big Block Swap - Car Craft
Case in point: GM Performance Parts' burly 502/502 big-block (PN 12371171) that can be had for about $6,000.
However, even though a crate engine's price may be lower than what you'd spend building a similarly performing mill, we wondered what hassle and expense would be required to shoehorn such a fat-block into a traditional musclecar.
In the Sept. '97 "Crate Engine Shootout!" story we tested the 502/502 and were giddy to see 513 hp and 555.5 lb-ft of torque.

 Sonic Checking the Mopar Big Block
For a high horsepower application, a heads up engine builder should consider having the blocks hardness tested as well as sonic tested.
Since the blocks we gathered up were a random sample of blocks built over a long period of time, our sample should be very representative of what you might find at a swap meet or wrecking yard.
While the blocks cast after 1976 do not appear to be "thin wall" castings, they do appear to be cast from a material which is inferior to the earlier castings.

 GM Smallblock Engine Blog: Giving Enthusiasts Their Due
I've gotta say that the combustion engine is on its way out and I'd like to see what GM has up its sleeve for tech gadgets and such.
I like GM engines, but I feel that the term "Smallbock" probably isn't the best for your marketing department to latch on to.
I know aftermarket parts business is not what GM is interested in but simply sharing some helpful advice on what GM powertrain has found works well would be a huge help and would certainly help me make better choices of which aftermarket combo would work best for my goals.

 GM Smallblock Engine Blog: October 2004 Archives
With the control module specified by GM engineers, this change from V-8 to V-4 is virtually imperceptible.
The engine controller signals solenoids in the engine lifter valley to deliver high-pressure oil to the switching lifters, activating a release pin to allow the inner and outer lifter bodies to work separately.
Innovations like green-sand casting, which allowed the block to be cast upside down and dramatically reduce the number of cores, as well as lightweight stamped-steel rocker arms that allowed a much higher rpm range, were state-of-the-art.

 Chevrolet Small-Block Engine Buildup
Production 400ci GM blocks feature two holes between adjacent cylinders to vent steam between the large 4.125-inch bores.
Since we would be running this engine on the street, we decided to start the dyno pull at 2,300 rpm and watch the engine work.
Once the heads are on the engine, the intake manifold requires special Vortec bolts and gaskets to hold it in place.

 Micro Persuasion: May 2005
On his new blog PR pro Peter Shankman is predicting that in the second half of 2007 we will witness the death of the first "big" newspaper from the convergence of blogs, podcasts, and the like.
I think what got GM in trouble here was the stark contrast between the good and bad.
Amazingly, they seemed to neglect that it was all part of a big viral marketing campaign.

 CK5 Forums - big block engine pick
Try to get the numbers from the block, I know Olds engines have the block number on a flat area behind the timing cover and the block(under the water neck).
At the moment I dont know if it is a chevy buick or olds big block.
If you have the ability to crank it over, check the compression on the cylinders...455 sounds like a BOP engine to me as well...look at the plugs and look for signs of oil...um...thats about it...

 Akbar and Jeff's Tool Hut -- list as of 08/07/2005
The idea here was to replace the time-honored practice of putting a block under a claw hammer when extracting a nail that is too far out of the wood for a normal claw to get any leverage.
Big honkin' thing, about 1' in diameter overall.
Handle is original and in good shape, as is the head, but the strange claw arrangement that was the basis for the patent has been repaired, with fairly crude welds, at all 4 points where breakage was inevitable given the design (it's US patent #2239719, for the curious).

 RockHard Cadillac & Chevy V8 engine adapter
The GM motor shall require a few modifications, including new motor mounts, for installation into the IH engine compartment.
On a manual 4spd transmission you need to use the IH clutch disc, throw out bearing, and the GM pressure plate.
This means that all OEM clutch linkage or automatic shifter do not need to be modified.
