TORQUE MONSTER! 540 Cubic Inch Big Block Chevy!

Check out this Big Block Chevy torque monster built by the team at PowerHouse Engines.
At Master of Machines, we love cars, in fact, we love anything with wheels or an engine, from American Muscle Cars to Australian Muscle Cars, Race Cars and Classic Cars of all kinds and even Barn Finds. If it's fast, powerful, restored or hidden away in hibernation then we'll cover it, and in most cases, we'll even drive them!

A good engine for a great model Holden 👌

[@AnnatarTheMaia]

If you're going to go Holden, then might as well go all out and put a Duramax 6.6 L direct injected, intercooled turbo diesel (with a DPF of course) and pair it with a Tremec Magnum XL 6-speed transmission.

cubic inches 👌

Big Blocks are awesome but also expensive too. Chevy has the 1000HP NA ZZ632 crate engine runs on pump gas. Put that in you weekend cruiser that will get you moving

nice

[@jamesmcgowen1769]

That’s a serious engine! Glen, you once said you were going to put a grey motor on the dyno, has that happened yet, if so I missed it, is it possible to provide a link to watch it please? Also, a video of how you set up an engine for dyno run would be good to see

[@GlennEverittMasterofMachines]

Hi James! Yes we’ve performed that Grey Motor Dyno test feature and the episode is in the editing process. Stay tuned! 👍

Love one in my kingswood good engine.

[@79tazman]

Kingswood Wagon? My neighbour had a 1969 Kingswood Estate 9 seater I think it had a 400 small block in it. the car was cool for a big old wagon.

With that much Torque, the frame is gonna have to be made out of Granit, cause it may do more than shred tyres!!

[@BoBnotThat1]

540 = 9 L around yes?

[@johndavis7944]

That poor HZed Prem having this evil 😈 thing stuffed in it. It'll be Possessed.

[@lordpula1193]

So I'm still learning but never understood certain years, generations and numbers 427 454 540 etc etc. So 540 is the size of the cubic inches but then there's so many 540. Are these currently made custom or are these from gm or are these from 30 40 years ago that came in those cars back then? They have multiple generation like 7th generation and etc never understood all that. Some think a 540 big block is one but there's so many it's confusing

[@juliennacer8871]

the 540 is a custom build from aftermarket blocks and crank.

[@BoBnotThat1]

Is it around 9L from the UK and we use CC or L litres like 8.9. This is just confusing when you're used to CC ETC ETC

[@OGAussieBirdman]

What cam did u use?

[@JustinMorrisV82]

Hydraulic 248° @ .050

[@crunchytheclown9694]

Nice, but get a bike, if you dare
