ABOUT THIS ENGINE | THE “MAVERICK”

What does this engine have to do with Tom Cruise and Top Gun? Nothing… and yet everything at the same time! All jokes aside, we are headquartered in San Diego and a few of our engines are named after the Top Gun movie pilots. We thought “Maverick” was fitting for this engine because it’s an underdog with some bite!

Let’s talk about the engine! To kick things off we have we have a brand new set of high output vortec cyclinder heads. These aftermarket heads have a thicker casting which make them stronger and more capable of performance and durability. They also flow better than conventional cast-iron heads so you can get that extra performance and sound with these. The lopey sounding COMP Cams camshaft is a hydraulic roller and is part number 08-422-8. This cam works well with power brakes and low RPM daily driving. RPM range is 1800-5500.

The bottom half of the engine has an iron crankshaft, GM forged rods with high strength rod bolts, performance tri-metal bearings, Keith Black pistons paired with Hastings rings. Weiand aluminum intake with a 670 Street Avenger Holley carburetor and Holley fuel rail. Get your fuel injection upgrade with a Holley Sniper EFI system! MSD Street-Fire HEI Distributor with MSD wires with some BOSCH spark plugs.

Every engine is machined, balanced, and blueprinted at our factory to ensure it meets our high standards. With a Drop-it-in-and-Go package we will hot run or dyno your engine for up to 1 hour with all your equipment installed so we can break-in your engine AND ensure all parts are working up to standard with no leaks or defects.

“Being personal is very important to us as a family. This is my husbands daily driver. The quality was there, there were no sales tactics just to move product, we received the engine on time, Brady answered all my questions and always took care of me since day one. The motor was so nice that we bought another one for my sons car. We couldn’t be happier with the purchase!”

When purchasing an engine online or even in the retail world, it comes as-is with no options. It will be painted black with one style of oil pan, no flywheel, no gaskets, generic intake manifold, generic carburetor, and a warranty that has so much fine print it’s essentially not a warranty whatsoever.

Here at West Coast Engines your engine is fully customized and built-to-order in just a few weeks. This allows us to accommodate the right oil pan, flywheel, engine color, intake manifold, smog equipment, or anything else that may be important to you! We can also customize the packages if you already have a carburetor or an ignition system and simply deduct it from your order. That way when the engine arrives it’s a QUALITY product that LOOKS, SOUNDS, and PERFORMS the way you want it, making every dollar spent worth the investment.

Can you ship to my house?

Absolutely! We can ship right to your doorstep. The delivery driver will lower the engine from the truck with a liftgate and put it right in your garage with a pallet jack.

Do you ship internationally?

We accept international sales but the shipping outside of the USA is handled by the customer.

Can I pick it up?

For insurance purposes these engines must be delivered to you. These are big 500 lbs engines and we want a professional freight company to handle it with care to protect your investment.

How do I order?

Call us at 1-888-410-7468. We are open 9-5pm PST.

Do I have to pay upfront?

We require 50% down to get an order started and collect the remaining balance when the engine is complete and ready to ship.
