FAQ
What’s the difference between “Premium Stock Plus” and “Performance”?Premium Stock Plus targets OE-like manners with longevity upgrades for towing and daily use. The Performance long block adds components and clearances intended for higher horsepower goals.
Does this long block include accessories?No. External accessories (turbo, manifolds, pump, covers, brackets, etc.) are typically reused from your core or purchased separately.
Will it fit VE-pump and P-pump trucks?Yes—this unit is for 1989–1998 5.9L 12-valve. Reuse your model-year-specific front gear housing, pump, and brackets as needed.
Do I need head studs?For heavy towing, higher boost, or future power upgrades, head studs are strongly recommended to reduce head gasket failures.
