Texas Speed & Performance TSP-418LB-LS3 Short Block

The TSP-418LB-LS3 from Texas Speed & Performance is a robust short block designed for serious performance enthusiasts. Built on a new GM L92/LS3 aluminum block, this engine offers a solid foundation for your high-performance build. With a 4.00" stroke crankshaft and the option to choose between a 24X or 58X reluctor wheel, this setup allows for precise tuning and compatibility with various applications.

What Customers Are Saying

Many customers have praised the TSP-418LB-LS3 for its reliability and power output. One user noted, "I installed this short block in my Camaro, and the difference is night and day. The power delivery is smooth, and it handles boost like a champ!" Others have appreciated the ease of installation, stating, "Everything came pre-assembled, so I just had to drop it in and connect the essentials."

Key Features

  • Standard package includes a fully-assembled GM L92/LS3 short block.
  • Choice of high-performance pistons from Wiseco, CP Pistons, Diamond Racing, or Mahle, all made from durable 2618 forgings.
  • Designed with lowered ring lands, making it suitable for nitrous and boost applications.
  • Includes necessary oil and coolant plugs already installed.
  • Optional conversion package available for LS1 vehicles, including LS2 timing cover and other components.

Technical Data

Each engine comes with 12 quarts of break-in oil at no extra cost, ensuring optimal performance from the start.
