The 2023 Chevy COPO Camaro is available now, offering drag racers a turn-key, purpose-built machine ready to hit the strip with confidence. Among the available powerplant options is the brand-new, fuel-injected, naturally aspirated ZZ632 cubic-inch Big Block V8.
The ZZ632 crate engine was unveiled in October of the 2021 calendar year as the largest and most powerful engine that Chevrolet Performance had ever made, with peak output set at 1,004 horsepower and 876 pound-feet of torque. Now, the ZZ632 is available under the hood of the 2023 Chevy COPO Camaro.
Further engine options include the supercharged 350 cubic-inch V8, which is NHRA rated at 600 horsepower, and the naturally aspirated 427 cubic-inch V8, which is NHRA rated at 470 horsepower. The naturally aspirated ZZ632 cubic-inch Big Block V8 is not NHRA rated. All three engines connect to an ATI Racing Products TH400 three-speed automatic transmission with a Hurst Quarterstick shifter.

I want that big block Camaro so bad. Would love for GM to donate one to me.😁🙏
They need to release this in a streetable Camaro.. They have been sucking Challengers smoke long enough, and the Mustang is not in this catagory.. One final Hurrah.. blow out the doors.. Give us this ZZ632 for the street Guys.
Sucking the challenger's smoke?? Maybe in track-only form - on the street my 416 6th gen eats challengers/chargers for snack, including the Hellbabies - naturally aspirated! :)
io want this engine for my 67 nova...my 383 is great but the 632 is the way to go ...
They tried that with the Z28, they only sold 116 without AC of the 1800+ built. So doubt you will ever see that again.
Gen 5 is porky, lightweight it and it's still porky. Gen 6 should have had the LS7 Z/28 (also V6 1LE, and an LT1 trim) with a bare/light 'package' as optional.
