VPW Engine Block- SB Chev

When building a mild Small-Block performance engine, blocks from VPW offer strength,accuracy and peace
of mind that can't be assured in a rebuilt core.And, unlike so many of the used cores, nearly all of ours feature four-bolt main caps for
extra strength. Each cylinder block is machined to production-spec tolerances and is manufactured to the exact specifications of
pre-1986 or 1986-and-later engines
