This short block is the heart of the proven combination that gives you 2000+ horsepower at your disposal. The solid foundation starts with your choice of blocks; the vigorous LS-Next from Dart or direct from GM, the mighty LSX. Both feature remarkable improvements to the oiling system and are cast with exceptional materials. Handling the top end are provisions for 6-bolt head configuration with 1/2" studs, this recourse makes cylinder head gasket and head lift issues a thing of the past. LMEs custom forged 4.125" piston from DIAMOND is designed to handle the astounding heat and cylinder pressures today's boosted street machines produce. Callies Billet 4.000" stroke crank with, 6.125" Ultra rods, and .250" wall heavy duty pins conclude the proven rotating construction making this the ultimate base for street car dominance.

LME Standard Shortblock Blueprinting Process:

  • Block is fully deburred & inspected for flaws

  • Cylinders diamond honed with torque plates for optimal clearance per application

  • Crankshaft journals indexed & trued to exact tolerance

  • Optimal cylinder geometry achieved with diamond hone and surface finish verified with profilometer

  • Chamfered oil holes for improved oiling to bearings

  • Cylinders machined for rod clearance per application

  • Crankshaft journals polished to 2 Ra or better surface finish

  • Block and components meticulously deburred & cleaned after machining process

  • Crankshaft balanced within ¼ oz-in tolerance

  • All five main bearings & all eight rod bearing clearances measured and adjusted for application

  • Connecting rod housing bores checked & adjusted for optimal roundness & size

  • Ring are precision file fit per application

  • Piston pin bores measured & adjusted for application

  • Cam bearings installed and test cam fitted to ensure smooth rotation

  • Block aline honed and set to low of spec for maximun bearing crush

  • All oil galley plugs and dowel pins installed

  • Deck surfaces machined perpendicular to mains & deck height set for optimal quench

  • Meticulous final assembly of shortblock

  • Cylinders bored (when applicable) on 4 axis CNC perpendicular to mains giving you a true 90o  V8

  • All tolerances, clearances, machining specs, and part numbers are recorded and documented in build sheet
