SBC Power Adder Short Block – LS Specialties

SBC Power Adder Short Block

-
+

The Power Adder SBC Short Block is built to handle serious power from turbochargers, blowers, or nitrous—perfect for your next forced induction build. For supercharged applications, we highly recommend the dual 3/16" keyway crank option. The ATI Blower Balancer features both SBC and Chrysler bolt patterns with a thick BBC hub, requiring a matching ATI timing cover and BBC seal. Compression ratios are calculated using 65cc cylinder heads.
