Introduced in 1955, the trusty Small Block Chevy V8 (or “SBC” if you’re in a hurry) quickly proved to be a strong, reliable package with big performance potential.

And when the SBC hit the magic number 350 in the late 1960s, it quickly became the go-to engine for a variety of Chevy cars and trucks—and a lot of other vehicles inside AND outside of General Motors too.

Thanks to their durability, affordability, massive parts support, and performance, Small Block Chevy crate motors have become a staple of the crate engine industry. And you’re able to find them in seemingly every configuration you’d like—from a turnkey 350 crate engine to get your work truck back on the road, all the way to a ground-pounding 383 Stroker for your street machine, hot rod, or race car.

In fact, the Small Block Chevy crate engine market offers a seemingly countless amount of displacement options, from a period-correct 327 good for a mid-1960s muscle car to performance-oriented Strokers that push displacement well over the 400 cubic inch mark.

Better still, you can get these crate engines in a mix of configurations too. Starting with a SBC long block that includes vital parts like the cylinder heads and timing set, you can climb up the options ladder all the way to a fully dressed Small Block Chevy crate engine that comes with the heads, intake manifold, water pump, accessory drive, and more.

In other words, a fully dressed crate engine means that it’s pretty much ready to plop right down in engine bay of your project car or truck. But if you’ve already got parts like a manifold, carburetor, and pulleys, then a good long block SBC motor is a practical and affordable option as well.

All told, if you go to a car show—anywhere, anytime—we’re willing to bet that you’ll find a venerable Small Block Chevy 327, 350, or 383 Stroker lurking around somewhere. So if you’re ready to renew your ride with an all new powerplant that carries an amazing performance legacy, start shopping for the best Small Block Chevy crate engine for your vehicle now at Summit Racing.
