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.
