FAQ
Is this a complete engine?No. It's an unassembled short block package with a machined block and matched rotating assembly/parts. You will assemble and add cylinder head, fuel, and turbo components.
Does it include a camshaft?Yes-an Industrial Injection Stage 1 (188/220) camshaft is included in this Performance Builder Box.
Do I need head studs and a main stud kit?For street-performance builds, ARP head studs and ARP main studs are strongly recommended to control cylinder pressure and maintain main cap stability.
Which gaskets should I pair with this kit?Use a quality lower conversion set (MAHLE CS54556) and a head set matched to your year (MAHLE HS54556).
