Official Release:

Edelbrock now offers Do-It-Yourself crate engine kits for consumers that want to build their own Edelbrock crate engine and already have a short-block ready for assembly.

Edelbrock’s Do-It-Yourself crate engine kits are available for both early and late small-block Chevy short-blocks. Consumers have two performance packages to choose from; the Performer 310 HP and the Performer RPM E-Tec 435 HP. The Performer 310 HP kit is for use with a 1986 and earlier Chevy short-block.

This kit includes all of the components needed to build an Edelbrock Performer RPM E-Tec 9.5:1 crate engine (#45909), which will produces 435 hp and 435 ft-lbs. of torque.

Both kits includes an Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS carburetor, Edelbrock camshaft, Edelbrock intake manifold, Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads, Edelbrock roller rocker arms, pushrods, balancer, timing chain, timing chain cover, distributor, ignition coil, oil pump, gaskets, nuts, bolts, assembly lube, break-in oil and detailed assembly instructions.
