Here we have our Dart block based Liberator short blocks. These short blocks are for the guys that have outgrown or will be exceeding the rated hp capacity of the stock 302 blocks, which is roughly 500-550hp "usually" If you are running alot of nitrous, blowers, turbos and want the added hp and most importantly the added security from block breakage, these are the short blocks for you. Let's go over the short blocks in complete detail, feel free to call the shop anytime as there are many different options to choose from and I will be more than happy to help you in anyway possible.

Let me take a few sentences here to go over a few things. Be very afraid of alot of the so called "race" engine shops that don't even have there own equipment, they farm out all the critical machine operations. Then if your lucky they "may" assemble it at there "shop" Fordstrokers is 100% inclusive, meaning ALL machine work is done IN-House on our machines. Quality control is critical and crucial when asking a customer to spend 1000's of dollars. Also ask yourself why these "race" engine shops don't have ANY pictures of there shop, there machinery or there finished products but want you to fork over 1000's of dollars. I think once you see what we offer with your own eyes the choice becomes real clear why there are so many Fordstrokers Liberator Engines running around......................
