EMPI 1914cc Stock Engine Long Block Kit — Bubble Top Aluminum Case (98-0488-B)

1914cc is the sweet spot for a strong street motor — noticeably more grunt than a 1776 while still bolting into a stock chassis.

EMPI's 1914cc Stock Engine Kit (98-0488-B) gives you everything to build one, on an EMPI HD bubble-top aluminum case with all-new EMPI components. You supply assembly and machine work.
