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 +/- 0.005-inch tolerances. Chevrolet Performance Aluminum Race Blocks are ideal for competition applications or high horsepower turbocharged engines.
