Chevrolet Performance Crate Engine 502 HO 502 CID 461 HP 19433157

There is no replacement for displacement, and torque is the king. With 558 Ft/Lbs of torque the 502 HO will launch your car harder than you thought possible.

With its 461 horsepower and awesome torque the 502 HO may have the best power to dollar ratio going. If your car is all steel, you'll appreciate the power of the 502 HO and if your car is a light weight racer, say 2300 pounds, the 550 Ft/Lbs of torque will put a big ol' grin on your face. This engine is awesome.

Starting with a Gen VI 4-bolt main block, we fill it with forged pistons, forged 4340 steel connecting rods with 7/16" bolts, a 1053 forged steel crankshaft, and a steel roller camshaft. Then we torque down a pair of big breathing rectangular port heads with 2.19" intake and 1.88" exhaust valves. With their 118cc combustion chambers yielding a streetable 8.75 to 1 compression ratio, this engine is ready to rock on readily available pump premium. We then top it all off with an aluminum dual plane intake manifold and dress the engine with a cast iron water pump, 6 quart oil pan, windage tray, 14" flexplate and harmonic balancer. So, all you need to do is provide a 750 cfm carb, HEI ignition system, headers with 2" X 30" primaries and low restriction mufflers and a car with big sticky tires. Sounds simple, and it is!

Check with us for specific oil pan needs for your application. The 502 HO is not intended for marine use, and should only be used in 1973 and earlier pre-emissions street vehicles or any year off road vehicles.
