This caught my eye as a nice photo opportunity. I figured you guys would like it. Now that the season is over there are a lot of engines in storage here.









These photos were approved for release by GM Racing.

I have nothing to put it in (my Z06 is just fine the way it came from the General) but I would love to have one for display.

Ship one of those over here to StopTech, and I'll put some brakes in the empty box and send them back.

Question, that loose belt on the front of each engine.

Is it like NASCAR engines that have a handheld drive to spin up (prelube)the engine before the belt is put on the pullies before starting?


Thanks!

Wow those are beautiful. Just sneak me one out on the side. How much power do they make? Round about?

What's also amazing is all those engines combined are only worth half the price of 1 F1 engine.

Thats a good one. I'm from Aston Martin and I'd love to see a dyno..................just kidding. Thanks for the pics.We're privledged to get to see that line up. Kinda reminds me when i was at the gator nationals quite a few yrs ago and it was early on the first day and a freind of mine who knew Kenny Bernstein of Budwieser fame. He showed us a trailer full of top fuel motors. Incredible

Default LS7 C6R motors!

Looks like the C6R motors you build are holding up extremely well. You must build one heck of a motor to have this many on the shelf!! Keep up the good work!!!
