Description:

The AMS EVO VIII 2.3 Stroker Short Block is the ultimate solution for low RPM torque. With an increase in displacement to 2.3 liters, you can expect a 10-15% increase in torque and a 400-500 rpm increase in spool up. Road racers will pull through corners better and drag racers will benefit from boost response after shifts. We use only the best off the shelf and custom designed AMS spec components. Combine that with the latest in machine and assembly practices and you are assured only the best!

All our race engines are individually handcrafted at AMS using the same care as the ones found in our world record holding street and race cars. When you choose an AMS engine you are investing in the knowledge gained from assembling 1000’s of race engines over the past 10+ years. With over 200 Victories in Motorsports over the last 3 years alone, it is clear that AMS is the only choice for your car!

Just like our 1500 HP Alpha GT-R’s and 1400 HP AMS Drag EVO, every motor is balanced, blueprinted and assembled to AMS’ exacting standards. Before assembly each block is checked for correct dimensions, cylinder bore, mains, block flatness, etc… to ensure you get the best foundation for your new engine. Every engine we assemble has a build sheet where tolerances, torque specs, and clearances are documented. An exclusive feature on all AMS EVO engines is our Race Balance Shaft Eliminator Kit. We do not use stub shaft conversions that can cause catastrophic oil pump failures.

We found as the EVO 4 platform has gotten older there are fewer and fewer good core blocks and cranks out there. In order to keep the highest standards for reliability in our engine program we have chosen to use only new blocks, aftermarket cranks and oil pumps in our builds. This is not an off the shelf combination, no expense was spared. It is stuffed full of only the absolute BEST parts available. We feel the added cost upfront is much cheaper than having to build an engine and install it twice, not to mention the downtime and frustration. While other engine programs offer cheaper alternatives, we make sure your engine is ready for years of beating down your competition the first time around!
