Sleeper 534 Big Block Chevy

Sleeper 534 Big Block Chevy

We love building sleepers, so why not a sleeper engine? We're building a big torque, big horsepower, pump gas 534 cubic inch Big Block Chevy disguised as an old school stock engine. This build uses a host of high-tech aftermarket pieces, but it's designed to swap into anything that a big block will fit into. We go from a table full of parts to a full-blown dyno session to see what it cranks out.
