Texas Speed builds it for high horsepower street, drag racing and road racing use, with a forged rotating assembly and ARP main studs that it rates for up to 1000 horsepower with boost, nitrous or an aggressive naturally aspirated combination.

Each short block is balanced and blueprinted in-house to Texas Speed's own standards and arrives assembled with the ARP main stud kit installed. Break-in oil, an LT1 engine stand and a shipping crate are included. Cylinder heads, camshaft and the remaining top-end parts are not part of this short block.
