Our Stage 3 motor is a total workhorse with improvements to the rods and pistons. Our engine program has been proven time and time again on and off the track. We have countless race hours on these engines as well as millions of street miles that prove you can have the best of both worlds. We balance and blueprint everything in these engines. Each piston is within ½ gram of each other, the rods are within ½ gram of each other on both the big end and the total weight. Each crank is sent off for balancing and comes in less than 1 gram. The only difference between our stage 3 engine and our stage 4 engines are the internal parts. The time and resources spent on perfecting the clearances and balancing the rotating assembly is done on all of our engines.

Why Choose our Stage 3 Short Block Over the Competition? All machining, cleaning, and assembling are done by a degreed engineer. We provide a level of artisan craft in our engines only found in race teams and super cars. The experience we bring to our engine program is unparalleled in the industry. We blueprint the entire assembly of the motor to within .0002 of our specs.It is incredibly important to balance your motor to increase the life of your bearings. It is highly recommended to run a Fluidampr/ATI crank pulley or OEM. Do not run an aftermarket solid crank pulley. All of our inspection equipment is high quality, either from Starrett or Mitutoyo, and is sent off yearly for calibration to a qualified cal-lab.
