I thought the same, second apologies. I thought Hoonigan was a respectable brand; Ken Block, right?

I think it used to be ken block only but guessing it’s more a hip cool car brand thing now with multiple groups making content under it.

According to the Wisconsin dealership, the ZZ632/1000 Chevrolet Performance Big Block (part number 19432060) comes with a suggested retail price of $37,758.72 with a discounted price of $29,499. Muscle Cars & Trucks pointed out that the ZZ632 Big Block V8 is over twice as pricier than the defunct 755 LT5 V8 crate engine, priced at around $18,000.

In comparison, Chevy's new crate engine is pricier than Hellephant’s $29,995 price tag, which needed another $2,265 for the engine installation kit.

Chevrolet's 1,004-Horsepower ZZ632 Crate Engine Won't Come Cheap

Chevrolet has introduced its 'Biggest, Baddest' crate engine yet but it isn't going to be a cheap purchase in case you're interested.

Almost $11K higher than my guess for MSRP and $2.5K higher for the discounted price.

My question is what's the cost to build something similar? I mean there's not a lot of parts for a BBC that aren't made aftermarket and would a builder be similar results and better economics? I'd think the difference between this and something custom built would be 5K+ price wise but it's been a long time since I even really looked.

That’s a shit ton of money, after buying a gm zz502 and reading about them quite a bit I’ve found that they almost never dyno the advertised hp if I had to do it all again on my boat I’d go with a different crate motor company, or just buy the short block, the gm shot blocks are bulletproof

All those blue print engines Engine Masters dyno’d almost always hit or exceed the rated number.

MEFI 4 on a guys zz in an Astro and the stock tune was rich as fuck. Cost him a set of pistons.

I wonder what kind of performance you'd get if you dropped off a check for $36k with Nelson Racing Engines and said I want 1000hp. You'd probably get some LS based twin Turbo thing that outperformed GM's attempt.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Just reading all the maintenance on that Skip White one, which I completely understand, makes my head hurt.

 

[1quick]

I wish I would have bought one of the skip white crate motors for my boat they seem like the best bang for the buck

DEEZUZ approves

Like I told emerballs last night, I appreciate it, but I do not like the attention 3rd GEns are getting.. That means more people are going to want them and soon I'll feel like I'm driving a scatratdevilsredeye392 charchalynger

For $3k less than the 1,000 hp GM crate motor you can get a 1,000 hp LS 2.9L Whipple motor.

Or for about $500 less, you can get a 427 LS with twins that makes 1,100 hp on pump gas or 1,500 hp on race gas.

For about the same money as the 1,000 hp crate engine, you can get a 4.0L Whipple 427ci LS motor that makes 1,150 hp to the flywheel.

Of course you can.

But 632 cubic inches.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Right, I LOVE LS motors as much as the next guy, but something about a Big Block making gobs of power without any forced induction that just warms harbles. Just raw, brute force.

Yeah, at the $30k price point I'd definitely just be getting something built to my exact desires/specs.

I'm guessing this motor is just like their other crate motors - marketed towards boomers who are going to drop one in their show car and idle it around at car shows.

maybe popular on the interwebz but I doubt you will see more on the road in the salt belt known as IL and IN.

Had a chance to talk to some Chevrolet marketing people about the 632 while at SEMA. Check it out!
