CRATE ENGINES SMALL-BLOCK
The best value crate engine in the GM Performance Parts lineup!
The 350/290 HP is the most popular GM Performance Parts crate engine because no one can deliver such performance
for this kind of value. GM Performance Parts believes that everyone should be able to afford a high quality GM V-8 without
going broke. The 350/290 is an answer to those car crafters who demand maximum return on their money. But, just
because its affordable, dont think that its a stone. The 350/290 delivers 290 hp 5100 rpm and a solid 326 lb.-ft. of
torque at 3750 rpm. With those kinds of numbers, its the perfect replacement engine for the millions of GM vehicles
that shipped with a small-block. Got a tired, old Chevy that needs a lift? This is the crate engine for you.
Weve also loaded the 350/290 with a four-bolt main bearing block, aluminum pistons, and a hydraulic camshaft. The
cast iron cylinder heads are designed to be extremely durable while still providing good airflow through the engine.
The 350/290 will ship to you as a Base-level long block. Add an intake manifold, carburetor, ignition system, starter, balancer,
and water pump, and youll be ready to hit the road with a fresh new motor. All of these parts are available from GM
Performance Parts, and with its low price, youll have no problem finishing off the 350/290 in style and affordably.
