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.

The SP350 is built with a brand-new block with four-bolt mains, along with a forged-steel crankshaft, an aggressive hydraulic roller camshaft, and durable, high-silicon pistons. Unique valve covers distinguish this new crate engine at a glance, too-along with Chevy bow tie insignias in the ends of the cylinder heads that let everyone know you have the latest Chevrolet Performance hardware under the hood.
