The Texas Speed Brawler 426ci Gen III Hemi Short Block is a balanced, assembled stroker short block built on a brand-new BGE block with the same components and assembly practices Texas Speed uses in its custom engine program. Texas Speed rates the combination as capable of 1,000 horsepower in naturally aspirated or boosted applications, making it a step up from a factory 6.2L or 6.4L block for a street or track build.
The rotating assembly uses a Texas Speed forged 4.050" stroke crankshaft with a 2013 and newer style reluctor, 6.125" forged 4340 H-beam rods from Texas Speed or Molnar, and Manley 2618 forged 4.095" pistons with a -5cc dish, heavy-duty wrist pins and coated skirts. King main and rod bearings and an ARP main stud kit are installed, and each crankshaft is digitally spin balanced to its rotating assembly on the Texas Speed CWT balancer. The short block ships crated on a Gen III Hemi engine cradle with 14 quarts of Royal Purple 10W-30 break-in oil.
