If you're serious about performance, the Texas Speed Gen 3 Predator Sleeved Short Block is where it’s at. This beast is built to handle up to 1800 horsepower, making it a solid choice for those looking to push their builds to the absolute limit—whether you're running big boost or going with a naturally aspirated setup.
What really sets this engine apart is its stock 12:1 compression. This means it’s versatile enough for both boosted and NA builds without having to mess around with compression ratios. Plus, it’s designed to withstand mid-30 lbs of boost, so you know it’s tough enough for serious applications.
Each short block is meticulously crafted right here at Texas Speed. They take the time to deburr, balance, and blueprint every engine to meet some pretty exacting tolerances. The proprietary stainless steel hoop design? That’s not just for show; it adds a level of durability that you’ll appreciate when the going gets tough.
This short block is a fantastic foundation for any high-performance project. Whether you’re building a track monster or a street beast, it’s got what you need to take things to the next level. With top-notch components like Darton Coyote sleeves and a Ford Performance Boss forged crankshaft, you’re looking at a combination of strength and reliability that’s hard to beat.
Just a heads-up: This engine is designed for high-performance applications and won’t fit 2021+ Ford trucks or 2024+ Mustangs due to changes in the oil pump design. Make sure you check compatibility before diving in!
