Chevrolet Engines

Our small block Chevrolet engine packages (350 and 383) originate from the venerable 350 engine architecture. These engine packages utilize the latest in aftermarket cylinder heads; they potentially can produce 400 - 500 horsepower, depending upon the ultimate package selections.

Our big block Chevrolet engines come in several different flavors. The 396/402 engine package is targeted for the owner looking to restore their classic muscle car maintaining the original under hood appearance but boost power potential (375-500+hp). There is an economical 454 engine (375-475+) package for those looking to build a high output bigh block on a tight budget. Finally the high output 454 and 489 "stroker" motors are intended for the customer looking to build the ultimate 454 based engine package (600-700+ hp).

Our Gen III engine packages (5.3 - 6.7 liter) are intended for late model, high horsepower computer controlled vehicles. The stroker engines will make significantly more torque than the stock engines. The ported production heads will flow as much air as most of the high end aftermarket units!
