NEW ZZ430 ENGINE UPS THE PERFORMANCE ANTE Las Vegas -- The new ZZ430 engine is the highest horsepower small block crate engine GM Performance Parts has ever produced. And with GM Performance Parts planning to build only 430 of the engines, they will probably be snapped up with the same kind of speed the engine delivers in a street or a race car.
The ZZ430 is based on the small-block, 350-cubic-inch ZZ4, which delivers 355 horsepower and has earned a solid reputation for speed and durability. True to its designation, the new ZZ430 produces 430 horsepower. This engine is designed for use in 1973 and older street vehicles and any year off-road vehicles.
The keys to upping the performance level are a pair of new aluminum "Fast Burn" cylinder heads, according to Michael Fellberg, general product manager for GM Performance Parts at General Motors Service Parts Operations (SPO). "The ZZ430 is not an exotic engine in terms of complexity or cost." Fellberg said. "The power of this package is largely a credit to the efficiency of the Fast Burn cylinder heads."
The 23 degree Fast Burn heads are so named because of the heads's ability to quickly and completely burn the air/fuel mixture, creating higher cylinder pressures that result in more torque and horsepower.
The Fast Burn head uses GM Performance Parts' cast-ported technology. Cast-ported means that as incremental improvements in flow, combustion and cylinder fill were identified during the development process, those improvements were incorporated in the casting and machining tooling. As a result - unlike most aftermarket performance heads - the Fast Burn head achieves maximum performance "out of the box," with no additional porting needed to improve performance.
The ZZ430 also gets a performance boots from a hotter camshaft, the "Hot" cam originally used on the LT4 engine. The ZZ430 uses off-the-shelf 23-degree roller rocker arms and valvertrain components.
"The ZZ430 has undergone the same rigorous development and validation testing practices that GM Performance Parts uses with all of our parts and components to ensure quality, performance and long-term durability," Fellberg said.
Limiting the production build to 430 units will create an added aura around the engine, Fellberg said. Each engine will be numbered, and will come with a version of GM Performance Parts' 18-degree racing valve covers engraved with the GM Performance Parts and ZZ430 logos. A jacket and cap, both with matching serial numbers, also will come with the ZZ430 engine.
