0604Htp 05 Gm Performance Parts Crate Motor Z

That's right, GMPP is now offering for your enjoyment the engine out of the already-legendary 2006 Corvette Z06. Personally, I'm imagining this sucker under the hood of a WS-6 Trans Am, but you might have a '69 Camaro or '32 Ford in mind. It's sure to find its home inside many a street machine--so long as the owner has more than a little cash to blow!
