It's taken me 3 years and thousands of dollars, but FINALLY, my 1,700 horsepower capable Gen 7 big block chevy is assembled and just about ready to go into a truck. This is a 535 cubic inch 8.8 liter big block based on the 8.1 thats in UglyTruck, and its ready to party. It has a forged crank, rods, and pistons, a solid roller camshaft, ported aluminum heads with massive valves, and now, a pretty trick shaft mount rocker arm setup. We oversized the head studs to half inch to keep the heads secured to the block, we're using copper head gaskets with orings, ceramic coated pistons, and a ton more that will hopefully make this engine live at 1,500 to 1,700 horsepower and propel a full sized 4x4 drag truck to an 8 second quarter mile pass!
