Chevrolet Performance 502 C.I.D. Short Blocks

If you want big block power for your ride but want to have a say in the final product, Chevrolet Performance has the solution. Their 502 c.i.d. short blocks can be configured to deliver all of the muscle you want. The heart of these powerhouses is the same short block that GM uses for their 502 c.i.d., 502 hp bruiser—so you know they can crank out the power.

Chevrolet starts with a Gen VI 4-bolt main block with a one-piece rear main seal and priority oiling for the main bearings. To that, they add: an externally balanced, forged crank that's shot-peened and magnafluxed; forged steel "dimple" connecting rods; forged aluminum pistons; a single-roller heavy-duty timing chain set; and a hydraulic roller camshaft.

The cam has 0.527 in. of intake lift and 0.544 exhaust lift, with 110 degrees of lobe separation. Duration at 0.050 in. of lift is 224 degrees for the intakes, and 234 for the exhausts. These long blocks come complete with a powdercoated cast aluminum timing cover (will not accommodate double-row chains); aluminum cylinder heads and valve covers; a 6 qt. truck-type oil pan (will not fit Chevelle, Camaro, Nova, or Impala); a 14 in. flexplate; and an 8 in. harmonic balancer.

GM Performance parts are sold without a warranty. Parts thought to be defective upon initial installation can be returned for inspection and will be handled case-by-case. GM Performance transmissions, short blocks, and components are covered under the provisions of the GM Dealer Service Parts and Accessories Warranty for 12 months from the date of original sale or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. GM Performance crate engines are covered under the provisions of the GM Dealer Service Parts and Accessories Warranty for 24 months from the original sale or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This excludes engines, transmissions, and components that are used in racing, competition, marine, motorcycle, or other non-vehicle usage. This also includes engines, transmissions, or components that fail due to alteration or improper use. GM Goodwrench engines installed as direct replacements in a car or light truck application are warrantied for 36 months or 100,000 miles from the time of purchase, whichever comes first. This warranty is the same regardless of who installed the engine. GM Goodwrench engines used in medium-duty truck applications (40 through 70 Series) are warrantied for 18 months with unlimited miles if installed by the dealership, or 12 months with unlimited miles if installed elsewhere. This warranty does not cover vehicles registered and normally operated outside of the United States. For additional information, please visit http://www.chevroletperformance.com/_res/pdf/GIMX0...
