This week Chevrolet released a video highlighting the ZZ6 crate engine that GM-trucks covered last October. The ZZ6 has modern technology, but the old-school look many desire under the hood of a project vehicle. With a nice neat 405 hp and also ft-lbs of torque the ZZ6 is plenty for almost all retrofit applications. Check out the link above for the power and torque curves, or see them in the video. I there are any mechanical engineers of engine techs out there they will know exactly what RPM the peak torque and hp cross on the curve. It can only be one number. If you know that number guess it below in the comments before you look.

After owning the LS, I could never go back to a SBC/BBC again. Even in a hot rod....

don't blame you.

 

this must be for a special group.

I know every trick for SBC longevity, through real world torture.

...and some of it is not there on the LS.

Oh, the yo-yos of extremes.

it's like trying to erase a chaulk board for the same subject.

 

where is the engine for my "special" evolution?

I'll go to blueprint or somebody for the non-siamese iron.

 

 

I want that old fuel pump boss there .. but I won't use it for that.

and I'll stop talking now.

some of us are action anyway.

If I remember right, that number is 5252 RPM where they cross.
