yup. its the imfamous chevy zz572 crate engine. i believe they come available in 650 and 750hp. its got aluminum heads, forged crank and pistons, bowtie intake, ect. all the really good parts. it what stacie off of trucks put in the '67 pickup he called copperhead.

OK, I can see the 572 now on the valve cover, couldn't make it out before.
That Stacie guy is a bad ass. Is there anything that guy can't do? Maybe Jato killer can give Stacie a couple of those motors and make a Hybrid out of that 572 engine?:005: That makes sence, right? 900hp Hybrid?

Man, I couldn't agree more. The guy is simply incredible. The thing that impresses me more than his unlimited skill and knowledge is his modest attitude. The same can be said for Jesse James as well. He is someone else who is highly skilled, -and yet, very modest and personable. Chip Foose is another.

It kind of goes without saying, but it has been my experience in life that it is the quiet guy sitting in the corner that you have to be worried about! <G>

I have met plenty of people who talked a REALLY good talk, and thought they were "all that", when in reality they didn't have a clue.

It reminds me of when I used to drag race every weekend. It wasn't the polished motors with the guys running their mouth you had to worry about. It was the quiet guy with the flat black painted motor that would unsuspectingly get everyone's attention.

And yes, the avatar is a ZZ-502 rat motor. Nothing signifies brute out-of-the-box power quite like that thing does. And, when you're a dyed in the wool Chevy guy like me, it is very fitting!

I am really enjoying this thread even though my original topic wasn't really related to the hobby. In all actuality, a 502 rat motor could be considered brushless, -couldn't it? I have been on forums where guys have been kicked off for going off topic. It's nice to finally belong to a normal forum that so far seems like a bunch of decent and knowledgeable guys.

Thanks for having me, -and thank you Mike for hosting the forum!

This is a cool thread, but Stacy is no longer on Trucks. they have a muscle head and a pretty boy on there now. They do know their stuff though

yea, they do, but i liked stacie better. i read on his website he is gonna be in a new show though.
