Description:

These sleeves are made of ductile iron that is 3 times stronger than cast iron. The ERL sleeves are significantly longer and thicker than stock sleeves, this allows for up to a 4.125” stroke and a 4.185” bore.

Each short block is blueprinted and built to the same exacting standards as our 2000HP race engines.  Every short block comes with high quality components such as Wiseco pistons with GFX rings, Compstar rods, and Compstar crank. This is an economical package well suited to Applications between 600HP and 800HP.  Packages are available for both Naturally Aspirated Applications and Boosted Applications.
