Im pretty much a noob to cars, but im working my way up.

Anyways i wanted to know what is the biggest v8 that you can buy/comes in cars.

8.1L - 1970 Cadillac Eldorado :)

The new Corvette Z06 has a 7.0L LS7. As far as I know, thats the biggest V8 on sale now.

As far as I know I think the largest displacement V8 you can buy is the 572cu.in. GM crate engine.

Yea. It just came out. 620 or 720 CHP. But I don't think the 720 is for sale yet. here is the THREAD (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=443545) in the chevy forum that I started a while ago.
And here is the WEBSITE (http://www.sallee-chevrolet.com/ChevyBigBlockV8s/572.html) where you can buy it. Pretty penny tho. It will make your pockets $13,000 lighter.

That's the same price as a hemi crate engine from Mopar. Except the 572 has more power and cubes.

GM > Mopar

yeah...i would say the 572 is the largest. i have a guy that i work with that will be buying over the winter to put in his show truck so i hear all about it everyday.

572... pfffff

There is a 1000cu. Crate Motor.

psh, probably for a semi! :shakehead:

Nope the block was originally designed for off-shore powerboat racing. But they cast it to use BBC mounts and a BBC bellhousing pattern for really sick bastards with a lot of money to throw at their car.

Yup, largest passenger car production V8. 4.3" bore, 4.304" stroke, 500 cubic inches, not to mention a high nickel block, great aftermarket support, and only 30 lbs heavier than a chevy small block. I have one in a 66 Bonneville and I love it.

D.S.S. makes a 600 ci for Fords. 950 hp with no power adder. go here if you wanna here it

Ford>GM>Mopar :D

I agree. Ford actually makes money on the cars they sell.

Last I checked, Chrysler Corporation was the only one of the big three actually making money off of their vehicles. Ford and GM are both in the red, and would be even worse off if not for their trucks and SUVs.

how do you convert cubic inches to liters? is there a way to do it cause i can get a better grasp of the size if it was in liters. i know 572 is alot but how many litres so i can compare kit to ther cars? thanks and by the way mopar>gm>ford.

its around 9.3 litres

so a liter is about 60 cubic inches?

its 58.2 if i remember right but dont quote me on that. 1 inch= 2.54cm so 1cubic inch = 16.387064cc so 572ci=9373.4cc=9.3l ;)

arent you a math wiz lol

scania trucks from sweden make a 16litre V8 truck engine, dunno what that is in cubic inches.

about 975 ci.

so a liter is about 60 cubic inches?
It's 61, well 61.023758990325284:biggrin:. 305 = 5 liter engine.

dammit! its 60, good ole rounded off, right in the middle, easily calculable, 60.

use www.onlineconversion.com it's got everything you need like volume speed power, etc. I'd love to see that 572 in a duster or something of the sort, basically the smallest car you can find. then fuel injection, turbocharger, all that beautiful stuff.

Not a V8 but probably one of the biggest engines put in a car.


Cadillac Sixteen :worshippy

14.7L V16 830 cu in making 1000hp.
Sexy

too bad it didn't make it into production, i'd love to own one ofthose cars, or at leased see one because unless they sell for 1000$ i can't buy one. Being in high school sucks

True, but Cadillac did make a V-16 engine from 1930 until 1940. This 1937 Cadillac V16 had a 452 cubic inch engine.
