Built for strong street performance, this engine combines the durability of a BluePrint Engines high-strength cast iron block with a proven rotating assembly designed for everyday reliability. The 3.750" stroke helps deliver the kind of low-end torque and mid-range power that makes a car fun to drive, whether you're cruising, hitting the throttle from a stoplight, or enjoying a weekend at the track. Features like the splayed 4-bolt main design, one-piece rear main seal, and USA-manufactured block provide a solid foundation for years of dependable performance. Inside, the cast crankshaft, I-beam rods, and hypereutectic dished pistons work together to create a balanced combination of power, durability, and street-friendly drivability.
