This is one of our house engines. BBC, closed chamber head, flat tappet build. Using a lot of parts that have been holding down the shelves.
Our coated Wiseco pistons, .904” Howard’s DL lifters, R&R rods, NOS Crane Commander cam from 1992, and some other cool parts.
This one should make the driver real happy. She wants 10’s and bigger wheelies. Can do.

An important thing to look for when assembling heads. Often overlooked!
Nice set of LS heads for a friend’s supercharged pickup.

Wrapping up the last few projects on the floor as I have time.
Among other operations, this one had the rear threads ripped out and a lug broken.
Bore the hole oversize, make a cast iron plug, breeze the boss/plug in, secure an anchor plug, transfer punch, drill and tap.
Heli coil the others.

462” BBC shortblock ready to wrap and ship with heads.
Pump gas “High Lift Hydro” version. This is one of our custom .608” lift hydraulic flat tappet cams, with .904” lifters.
The large diameter, indexed .904” lifters are the key to reliability and performance.
This one is going on a first gen Camaro for some street cruising and good times.

This may be the last one out the door here. Joe at Max Performance can build you one of these moving forward.
