When buying a shortblock your decision does not need to be based solely on basic fundamentals such as parts used and basic design.
There are many design variables that go into a shortblock other than compression ratio selection. When you purchase a shortblock from Bennett Racing Engines we take data gathered from your combination and develop a design plan for your goals. We address many variables such as:
POWER ADDER PISTON DESIGN
ENGINEER PISTONS FOR PROPER VALVE CLEARENCE
CYLINDER & ROD LENGTH FOR PROPER PISTON SKIRT DESIGN
BEARING CLEARENCES
PISTON RING GAPS & MATERIAL
PROPER ROD LENGTH FOR APPLICATION
These are just a few things we do to go above and beyond the standard way to build a shortblock. Our vast knowledge of engine combinations give you the peace of mind that when you get a Bennett Shortblock you are getting a piece that is ready to run.
Countless times people have called our shop wondering why they ordered a shortblock from another shop and they do not have any piston to valve clearance. After evaluating the combination we find that almost always the pistons were not designed with proper valve pocket depths for the heads and cam they are running. In many cases these customers would send a new shortblock to us for correct pistons to be installed. Be assured that we go the extra mile to make sure we spend the time engineering your shortblock as if we were building the entire engine.
Parts selection is key to performance and reliability in a shortblock. From simple things such as knowing what rear main seal will hold the most vacuum, to knowing the limits of a certain connecting rod, our vast knowledge from years of research and development have shown us what parts work and what parts fail.
Bennett Racing Engines uses superior parts from manufacturers such as Dart, Ford Racing, Callies, Lunati, Scat, Ross Pistons, CP Pistons, Calico Coatings, Akerly & Childs, Total Seal, Oliver, and GRP just to name a few in our shortblocks.
