Edelbrock Engine Blocks For Small and Big-Block Chevy
Engine Blocks For Small and Big-Block Chevy by Edelbrock
 
It just doesn't seem right to spend hard earned dollars and trust the quality of a block made in a foreign country. A true American V8 engine deserves to be started with high quality iron cast in America! Edelbrock engine blocks are cast and machined in the USA... and made to last! These are the same engine blocks we use to build our own crate engines. They are precision machined and accurate to the Edelbrock specifications. Available for small- and big-block applications. Edelbrock engine blocks are the perfect starting point for any Chevy high performance engine and the best base for an Edelbrock Total Power Package. When it comes to starting with the right base for your engine build... make sure to choose the one made right here in the USA!
