The Texas Speed Brawler Series 426ci Gen III Hemi Short Block is a 1500 horsepower capable foundation for boosted and nitrous Hemi builds that keeps cost down by starting with an OEM BGE Hemi block. Texas Speed fits the block with billet main caps and assembles it with a Callies Compstar forged steel crankshaft, Texas Speed billet I-beam connecting rods and custom TSP/Mahle box-in-box pistons.
Mini hoops are installed in the cylinders for added sealing under boost or nitrous. Texas Speed lists the platform as Gen III Hemi VVT applications, with confirmed fitment for all VVT-based Hemi vehicles from 2009 on. The short block ships on a Gen III Hemi engine cradle in a crate with Royal Purple break-in oil. Cylinder heads, camshaft, valvetrain and oiling components are not part of a short block and are sourced separately.
