THE ENGINE
The GEN3 setup is not tuned to be a huge monster but it has the hardware to compete. The list as follows: Roller Valvetrain complete with 1.6 ratio roller rockers, roller lifters, and lifter anti rotation bars that also shield the lower intake from hot oil from the lifter area, Canted valves like the GEN2 for unshrouding of air flow, super light hollow camshaft with hardend lobes, super light and sound reducing timing set with hardend chain, Heat reducing structrual aluminum oil pan with bosses and provisons for the crossbolted mains, windage tray, theroplastic lower intake gaskets further isolating the lower intake from heat, High flow intake manifold, revised intake ports and D shaped exhaust ports for better flow, exhaust manifold heat shields that substanially reduce underhood temperatures, moly coated pistons, Revised cylinder block thats more stronger, absorbs more vibrations, and has Priority Main feed oil system. Also has small block Chevy style connecting rods, extra large mains, and sb Chevy sized rod throws. All of these features makes the bottom end durable like a truck motor. With the right performance parts, this engine can be a substantial, sturdy, lightweight, fuel effcient, cool running powerhouse with torque to spare. |
