Sweet motor!
When my truck comes apart for a restification in the distant future, i also plan to put in a ZZ502. With that many cubes, it is really easy to have 500 horses under the hood, and still drive it every day. Thats the beuaty of a big-block  .

Personnally I keep creat engines the way I get them....why mess with some-else's work when you've paid for it...
On the other hand chrome makes a engine run better.... (yes there is a story behind that....) 9 out of 10 personallities agree that a chromed engine block is key to performance... the 10th one is covered in pink nail polish spots and is in the corner playing with his new toy suburban we had to stop and buy on the way home from the junk yard........ The rest of us are trying to figure out how to get him in the tub.....(never a pleasent experience.....)
