The Texas Speed 565 BBC Long Block with Hydraulic Roller Cam is a complete 565 cubic inch Big Block Chevy long block assembled by Texas Speed on a Dart engine block with AFR Enforcer aluminum cylinder heads, a 243/253 hydraulic roller camshaft, valve covers and an intake manifold. On the Texas Speed dyno the engine produced 700 peak horsepower and 700 lb-ft of peak torque, and Texas Speed publishes the dyno sheet for the full power curve and test specifications.
The long block ships with the engine cradle, crate and 16 quarts of break-in oil, and the buyer chooses whether to add a carbureted or EFI completion kit. Completion kits ship separately and are installed by the customer, since ignition, fuel system and induction parts are not pre-installed on the engine. Distributor timing, fuel system setup, EFI configuration and final tuning may be required, along with vehicle-specific fuel, cooling, exhaust and accessory components.

FAQ
What is included in the Texas Speed 565 BBC 700 HP long block?
A complete 565 cubic inch Big Block Chevy long block on a Dart block with AFR Enforcer aluminum heads, a 243/253 hydraulic roller camshaft, valve covers and an intake manifold, plus the engine cradle, crate and 16 quarts of break-in oil.
How much power does the Texas Speed 565 BBC long block make?
Texas Speed dyno tested this engine at 700 peak horsepower and 700 lb-ft of peak torque. Results vary with fuel quality, exhaust, tuning and supporting components, and the dyno sheet shows the full curve.
What is the difference between the carb and EFI completion kits?
The carbureted completion kit finishes the 565 with a carbureted induction package, while the EFI completion kit supplies an electronic fuel injection package. Either kit ships separately and is installed by the customer, or the long block can be ordered alone.
Is the engine ready to run out of the crate?
No. The long block includes valve covers and intake manifold, but ignition, fuel system and induction parts are not installed. Distributor timing, fuel setup and final tuning are required, along with vehicle-specific fuel, cooling, exhaust and accessory parts.
What cars does a 565 BBC long block fit?
It is a Big Block Chevy engine, so it fits classic Chevrolet cars and trucks and any chassis set up for a Big Block Chevy, such as the 1967 to 1972 Camaro, 1965 to 1973 Chevelle, 1968 to 1974 Nova and 1968 to 1987 C10. Motor mounts, headers, transmission and accessories must match the vehicle.
Why choose the hydraulic roller 700 HP version?
The hydraulic roller camshaft with 10.0:1 compression needs no periodic lash adjustment, so it suits street and cruiser builds. Texas Speed also sells a solid roller version of the 565 BBC with more power and more valvetrain maintenance.
