Why do that when you could buy a 572 crate motor and make more power N/A than a 565 with less cost.

It's based off of the older big block chevy designs, just with newer stuff added to it like the intake and electronic throttle control. Apparently it's a real oil burner too, something like 3-quarts per 100 gallons of gas (or something like that). It's also used as a marine engine too, but since it's pretty much maxed out on bore, so once the cylinder walls are done, so is the block.
