Tall Deck Bowtie Sportsman Bare Block

Big Blocks with big power are what you get when you select a Chevrolet Performance Bowtie Sportsman block for your drag racing or extreme street-performance application. These blocks comprise a full line of high-quality, precision-machined components based on performance-proven GM designs. The extensive lineup of blocks makes choosing the perfect block easy - and our quality and precision machining is second to none.

The blocks are CNC-machined, an automated process that guarantees precise tolerances. There are no approximations on these blocks –they're exactly right, which is critical to obtaining maximum performance. Chevrolet Performance offers more CNC-machined blocks than anyone.

The highest-quality materials are used to cast our Sportsman Bowtie blocks. They are also available as tall decks, allowing you to make more cubic inches with larger-stroke crankshafts. These blocks can easily be bored and stroked to 500-or-more cubic inches. They can be fitted with one-piece or two-piece crankshaft seals for a smaller chance of oil leaks (one-piece seals) or more aftermarket components attachments (two-piece seals).

The Bowtie Sportsman blocks are available with splayed main caps, which have additional material holding the crankshaft in place. The caps are splayed at 16 degrees. Chevrolet Performance uses splayed main caps throughout the entire line of performance-built Big Blocks.

Chevrolet Performance Bowtie Sportsman Blocks are ideal for drag racers or street machines where the goal is 800 horsepower and long-lasting reliability.
