Aluminum Race Blocks

Aluminum Race Blocks
Less weight and the same great horsepower are the benefits of a Chevrolet
Performance Aluminum Race Block. Chevrolet Performance Aluminum Race
Blocks provide the same competition-level strength and reliability of our
cast-iron Race Blocks, but their lighter weight improves chassis dynamics.
The super-tough A-356 aluminum competition blocks are CNC-machined to
+/- 0.001-inch tolerances. Chevrolet Performance Aluminum Race Blocks are
ideal for road racing applications or high horsepower turbocharged engines.*
See chart on page 120 for complete specifications.
