what's the biggest engine made?

Ok... i always thought a BB 632 was the biggest engine made... Now i just saw a 644..?? wtfreak..

http://www.cars-on-line.com/90gmc8976.html

So... is that real? or did they just do it like you do w/ 383 strokers, take a 350 and put a 383 stroker kit in it?

Or is that real? they make 702's or something? lol.

dang... if i was a rich man.

Ohhhh.......
That narrows things down some.

Seriously the 632 ci was the largest Chevy I had heard of.

If we're talking largest in terms of cubic inches, gas, 4 stroke, internal combustion, any make or brand- I'll see what I can ddig up.

S-D
I have to apologize for calling myself a B!tch. Sorry!.

ok... i know with 350's.. it's the parts that you put in it, to make it a "383 stroker"...

so is that what they do with the 632's to make them 706's and 762's as well?

But... what really do the parts do.. just the length of the piston arm and.. a few other things.. i've been told..

I think I got you all beat. I asked a good friend about a drag strip in hattiesburg and he told me about this car there. He said it is a early 60's nova and has a 800 cu in engine with tunnel ram with(2) 4's and 3 stages of nitruos. The car is supposed to run 7's and be street legal at that!! I havent seen that car yet, but I plan on going to this track and trying to get some pics of it if I can.

As far as "normal" automotive engines go some where over 800ci. When you start getting into diesels and avation engines things get larger...

I have no pics of this 800 cu in engine or this car. I havent been to this drag strip to see this car run yet, but my friend said he talked to the guy when he went there.

I always take pictures of engines and cars that I havent seen before so when i do get a pic of this car I'll post it

World products motown blocks with a tall deck, razed cam bore, and small base circle cam can suppot a 5.850" stroke on a 4.625 in bore. If I did the math right that is 786 ci.

It's Donovan

Donovan makes the 700 and 800cid big block.

http://www.donovanengineering.com/B...00BigBlock.html

There could be others making larger engines, but not as far as I know at the moment.

Actually it seems that sonny's have an engine at 812 ci..

Here's a picture I found on Sonny's first page on their website.

You could always innstall it in a thirdgen, perhaps put on a little smaller carb and drive it on the street..

It seems that thair biggest engines are all Donovan blocks.. guess engine size is limited to the blocks, and since there isn't that many manufacturers of engine blocks, it will not be any larger than the ones that they currently make.

ha ha i win... 904 CI... booo ya!

DOHC moat motor.. makes like 2500hp..something insane like that... forgot.

edit.. here is the info from the web site..

The old saying, “there’s no substitute for cubic inches”, abundantly applies to the new “SCHUBECK 904” cubic inch, injected engine. This four cam and four valve per cylinder, naturally aspirated V8 power house will delivers 1200 ft. lbs. of torque on pump gasoline without complicated, noisy and cumbersome superchargers.

The engine incorporates a closed cooling system featuring a heat exchanger and utilizes both fresh and sea water pumps. The engine also features a four stage, dry sump, oil system, a power steering pump and alternator. The engine also supports the latest Accel/DFI Gen 7 electronic fuel injection system.

Since that 1600ci engine really isn't a car engine, and really don't fit a car at all, I would say that the 904 is the biggest car engine one can get.

The cadillac sixteen V16 engine is about 835ci..
