GM Small Block Crate Engines

Refine Results

Whether you're fixing or replacing your factory engine or building your own sports car, there are few options better than a small-block crate engine. Chevrolet Performance, for instance -- a division of the Chevy brand -- produces several V8 engines of the type, and some of the best you can buy online these days, such as:

  • The 350/290 Deluxe, part number 19355658, a high-value option capable of producing 308 horsepower and 347 pound-feet of torque
  • The SP350/357 Base, part number 19367080, a more powerful choice that puts out 357 horsepower and 407 pound-feet of torque
  • The SP350/385 Base, part number 19333158, a motor designed for high-rpm performance and one capable of delivering 385 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque

Of course, there are plenty more to learn about on the Chevy Performance Parts website.

What is a Crate Engine?

It's a fully or nearly fully assembled motor. Crate engines can be remanufactured, rebuilt, or used, but most you'll find for sale these days, especially here at GM Wholesale Direct, are brand-new. One can include a block, a rotating assembly, and a cylinder head, plus a camshaft, an air intake (induction system), a carburetor, and more. This makes the prospect of engine replacement or upgrade a lot easier. After all, for the most part, you won't have to do much, if any, building or rebuilding.

What Makes a Crate Engine "Small-Block"?

Its lower power, lower displacement, smaller piston bores, shorter piston strokes, and relatively lighter weight. Put simply, small-block crate engines have a huge advantage when it comes to acceleration and handling, as the less performance-vehicle weight they have to pull, the better.

So, what do you have to "get right" when it comes to shopping for them? To order a genuine small-block, not an engine from an off-brand that you have to finish building using a bunch of disparate crate engine parts.

Why Buy a Genuine OEM Small-Block Crate Engine?

GM designs each to spec for its brands and models. Aftermarket small-block crate engines can't always make the same fit-and-finish guarantee, and neither can off-brand parts.
