Hi!
Do anyone know if there is a chance to install the 572 crate engine in the Corvette. I know it´s taller than the old big block,but how much??? Maybe you have heard of anyone doing this operation?

It will not only be taller, it will be wider, also. The taller deck height spreads the heads farther apart, as well as making the intake manifold wider. It ain't much, but it can create problems with headers/exhaust systems, as well as having room around the brake booster, which is already a tight fit.
I think I have a book that gives the dimensions, but I'm not sure. It might take me a while to round that up...
