Helpful Notes
- This is an unassembled short-block kit intended for experienced builders. Verify clearances, ring end gaps, and bearing crush during assembly.
- Girdle requires a stamped oil pan. Check pan/tie-rod clearance on some chassis.
- Use proper break-in oil and procedure; re-torque fasteners where applicable.
FAQ
What's the advantage of a “Race Builder Box vs. a finished short block?You get a blueprint-machined parts package with premium internals but perform the final assembly yourself-saving labor cost and allowing custom clearances and coatings for your power goals.
Does the kit include bearings and gaskets?Yes-H-Series main/rod bearings are included, along with a lower engine gasket kit. We also link compatible gasket sets above for common reseal needs.
Do I need head studs?For boost and fueling typical of a race build, head studs are strongly recommended. See the ARP 247-4203 kit in the recommended parts above.
Is machining already completed?Yes-block, crank, rods, and pistons are machined/balanced to blueprint spec; final measurements and assembly are performed by you during the build.
