All Chevy 350 Crate Engines start with a spanking new cast-iron block. Modern technologies such as large intake runners and beehive-style valve springs are then incorporated. GM Performance engineers have continually enhanced and refined the performance and capability of its 350 small-block offerings. These powerful, tough crate engines are a great alternative to rebuilding your tired two-bolt block.

Chevrolet introduced the world to the very first small-block V8 in 1955. (By the way, if you like history, check out this post from Karl Kustoms.) Since that time Chevy 350 Crate Engines have powered generations of vehicles on the street and on the track. 350 small-blocks have dominated the industry, with Chevy at the forefront.

The 2017 Chevy Performance lineup features more than a dozen 350 engines. On the Karl Kustoms site, you’ll find 350/290’s, 350 HO’s, Ram Jet 350’s, SP350/357’s, SP350/385’s, ZZ6’s, and the CT350 racing engine.
