Chevrolet Performance engineers matched the engines and transmissions for optimal performance and durability, so you can wring out every horsepower from them with total confidence! Designed for retrofit installations in older vehicles, for easier and quicker installation and operation without the need for guessing which parts will work with your combination.
The convenience of a crate engine, the assurance of factory validate performance and the value of an inclusive package - that's what you get with Chevrolet Performance's Connect & Cruise crate powertrain systems.
Each kit delivers a fully assembled crate engine, transmission and the installation kit to get it all running in your project vehicle - including the flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, hydraulic throw-out bearing (lines and master cylinder not included), fasteners and instruction sheets. Chevrolet Performance engineers matched the engines with their respective transmissions, ensuring they are up to the task of channeling big power with absolute dependability.
The engineers did all the hard work of designing and calibrating perfectly matched powertrain systems - and they covered them with a 24-month/50,000-mile limited warranty.
Ram Jet 350 350ci, 350HP / 400TQ PFI Engine
Chevrolet Performance's unique Ram Jet 350 combines the classic look of the original Rochester mechanical injection system with the dependability and optimized performance of contemporary electronic port fuel injection.
They took their proven 350 Small-Block and topped it with an exclusive port fuel-injection system that emulates the look of Chevy's factory fuel-injection systems from the 1950s and '60s. It's the perfect choice for a resto-mod hot rod from the original Rochester era.
A brand-new engine block is matched with a durable rotating assembly that delivers a pump-gas friendly 9.0:1 compression ratio, as well as a smooth hydraulic roller camshaft that complements power delivery with a great idle quality. The engine's unique intake manifold and plenum is 9-3/4'' tall, offering plenty of clearance to fit under the hood of most vehicles without modifications.
The Ram Jet 350 crate engine kit includes a MEFI 4 engine controller, wiring harness and a detailed instruction guide to make adding this retro-style EFI system a complete DIY project. Some additional components are required, including a high-pressure fuel pump and front accessory drive system.
