Built for Boost

A stock 351 Windsor block taken out to 383 cubic inches and built to handle serious boost and four-digit power. Machined for screw-in freeze plugs for added rigidity, with a fully forged rotating assembly and a solid roller cam to back it up.

Marine Power, Dialed In

This 365 came factory with a solid roller cam. We converted it over to hydraulic roller with a set of custom-made hydraulic roller lifters, running on Studebaker adjustable rocker arms, and dropped the compression to run clean on today's pump gas.

Reliable, Finish-Machined Rebuild

A straightforward, well-built 351W rebuild — stock rotating assembly brought back to spec with a hydraulic roller cam upgrade. The stock connecting rods were finish-machined and fitted with ARP rod bolts for a durable, streetable combination.
