Description:

This short block is intended to be used in a naturally aspirated build. Its design is very similar to our 6.0L turbo LS short block. This NA version has a stroker crank for more displacement, flat top pistons for a little bit more compression and a slightly different hone finish on the cylinder walls. Going to a 4.000" stroke with a 4.030" bore diameter brings us to 408 cubic inches. Our standard recipe NA engine builds with this short block typically fall into the 700 -750 horsepower range depending on cam selection. We call the 750 hp cam "All of It". 

In our opinion, a seasoned block that we have gone over with our CNCs is a better foundation than a new block new from GM. It certainly offers more value. We push these seasoned 6.0L blocks well over 1,000 hp with no problem. 

The Callies Compstar center counterweighted crank with stock stroke brings a lot to the party.  It's increased stiffness and reduced harmonics minimize flexing thereby protecting the block, bearings and rods from excessive wear and fatigue.  Get more details about this crankshaft in the video below.

We use Manley Extreme Duty Platinum flat top pistons and forged H-beam rods to complete the rotating assembly. The rods are made with 4340 alloy. The pistons are made from 2168 alloy with wrist pins of 9310 alloy. The forgings are domestic and these parts are loaded with features. We also use Callies Compstar rods and Diamond pistons depending upon parts availability and customer preference.

These short blocks are quick-ship items.  We usually have one either on the floor fully assembled, or have fully machined parts ready to assemble.  Call us at 815-725-2727 with any questions or to place your order.

Until you get one for yourself, you can watch the video below to see this short block do its thing on our dyno as a completed build.
