1973 Chevrolet Corvette "Stars and Stripes"

How it was Used: ZZ502. At the time this was the king of all big block crate engines is the ZZ502/502, with torque and horsepower that will have you grinning and streetable manners that have your competition wondering what hit them.
The ZZ502/502 represents the latest and best efforts to develop awe inspiring big block power in a dependable, durable and driveable big block crate engine. (Now of course the ZZ572 holds the title)
With it's big valve aluminum heads, roller camshaft and complete dyno tuned induction and ignition system, this is as close as you can come to a custom built 502.
The ZZ502/502 makes extensive use of aluminum to keep weight down. This king of the crate engines is full of heavy duty parts, to ensure that it will be making awesome power for a long time. With it's forged aluminum pistons, forged steel connecting rods with 7/16" bolts, forged steel crankshaft, four bolt main block, stainless steel valves, 6 quart oil pan, and windage tray, the ZZ502/502 seems more like a custom race engine than a crate engine. With a 5800 RPM redline it might just feel more like a custom race engine than a crate engine too.

This 502 cubic inch engine produces a staggering 502 hp with 567 lb ft of torque with a modest 9.6:1 compression ratio.
