    Truck Power with Gas, CNG or LPG fuels

    When it comes to grunt work like pulling your car hauler or offshore racing boat, Chevrolet Performance's heavy-duty 8.0L Big-Block does the job like no other gas engine. It's designed to accommodate gasoline, CNG or LPG fuels, and because it's a Big-Block, it delivers strong, low-rpm torque.

    The 8.0L's foundation starts with a forged steel crankshaft and forged connecting rods for great strength. A long, 4.250-inch stroke helps maximize torque, 10.2" tall deck height features full-length water jackets, thicker main bearing webs and four-bolt main caps for reliability when needed most. It also features a crank-triggered ignition system, with 4x camshaft and 58x crankshaft reluctor wheels.

    Assembly comes with heads and a balancer installed. An induction system, ignition, starter, water pump and other accessories are required to finish the engine. Requires an intake manifold designed for a tall-deck block or conventional big-block intake manifold with spacers.

    Note: The engine can support fuel injection and also has a provision for a mechanical fuel pump (the production 8.0L camshaft does not have a fuel pump lobe). Distributor with melonized steel gear MUST be used with long-blocks and Partial engines with steel camshafts, or engine damage will occur. Spark plugs not included.

  • Designed for gasoline or CNG/LPG on-highway applications.
  • Tall-deck block design (10.2" deck height).
  • Full-length water jackets (non-Siamese cylinders).
