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.
