Who's gonna marinize it first??? 😁 👍


Jeff Cheng actually marinized a set of 572 crate motors and put them in a Cigarette Gladiator. They were bad ass but I believe he was always chasing heat issues.

“Super cruise” technology coming on the new Silverado, self driving while towing. Sounds scary.

I bet a simple recirc pump would cure the issues.
They messed with it for a long time and couldn't get it worked out. Jeff ended up pulling the motors I believe and putting 525's back in and then sold the boat. They sure were cool motors though and sounded wicked!

The ZZ572/740R develops 727 hp and costs approximately $16,000. (Chevrolet)

People dont understand that these HP numbers arent based on 100% duty cycle operation. They are automotive burst numbers. Hold that thing at WOT for 2 or 3 minutes on the dyno and it's a whole different animal than advertised.

That was exactly the problem with the 572's Jeff put in the gladiator. There were sustainability at higher RPM for longer duration issues as well
