Make big power with your SRT-8 with our beefed up 6.1L short blocks with forged rotating assembly. This custom SRT-8 engine, machined and assembled by the experts at BES (Winner of the 2006, 2007 and with a Gen 3 HEMI, the 2010 Engine Masters Challenge!) exclusively for HHP is one of the best street engines available for the SRT-8.

As with all of our motor packages, with HHP you are not just receiving an awesome engine package, but you are getting our expert tech support which runs 16 hours a day, most days. We are here to make sure you are another great HHP success story.

Basic Complete Short Block Kit Includes:
  • Stock 6.1 forged crank fully machined and key weighed to specs by BES
  • Forged Connecting Rods
  • 2618 Alloy Pistons
Notes: The aditional valve to piston clearance of this engine allows for larger cam use. Additional work to the guides on your heads is required if you go over 580 lift. Gas porting available upon request
 
Research: Compare this fully custom BES short block to what's offered by our competitors who are using cheaper parts with much lower hp ratings. We actually race on our standard low compression Forged 6.1L, making over 1150bhp with boost only and over 1400bhp with nitrous and boost. This motor will take a beating and keep on purring. Why take a chance with inferior motors being built in someones garage behind their house when you can have far better parts in your motor and have the peace of mind that only comes with a motor built by the number one professional engine shop in the country, BES Racing Engines, for around the same price. Everyone knows that there is horsepower in the machining and BES will ensure you get the best quality engine built, from proper expert balancing to final assembly.
 
Balanced & Blue Printed: All blocks are sonic tested for integrity and thickness. All engines are professionally balanced and blue printed. Blue Prints available to customers upon request at time of purchase.
 
Optional Upgrades: For BES to put their name on an engine, our kits come standard with many of the upgrades our competitors have to up-sell you one. Other upgrades our competition may try and up-sell you on are not needed and are many times discouraged as they may actually rob your motor of horsepower and longevity. Our standard engines meet the needs of the average stroker customer and we carry one basic recommendation for High Compression strokers, Low Compression strokers built for 20+ psi boost, Low Compression nitrous injected strokers seeing over 15psi boost, and Nitrous Engines with intentions of using over a 350 shot, combined total and this is the ARP Main Bolt and Head Stud upgrade for internal integrity and to prevent lifting a head on engines seeing etremely high cylinder pressures.

For More Information: Please call us at 888-894-1115 for more info regarding this engine and what you will need to successfully complete the transformation of your vehicle into one of the baddest vehicles the HEMI world has ever seen. Let our experts help you plan out your build. At HHP, we carry EVERY part you will need to complete your entire stroker build, and since we are a chain of installation shops as well, we can provide everything from inhouse installation and tuning to tech support and email tuning for the do-it-yourself mechanics.

Warranty: BES stands behind their work and after years of working with the number one engine shop in the country, we can vouch for their work as we have never had a motor come back due to an assembly error. NONE of our competitors can say this. All part manufacturers limited warranties apply as well. We recommend you check out our track record and you will not find one unhappy HHP/BES stroker customer. What we don't warranty is damage caused my installation mistakes by unauthorized installers, damage caused by non-HHP tuners, damage caused by use of inferior or non-recommended parts, damage caused by idiotic abuse or neglect, damage caused by stupidity, and on the same level, damage caused by listening to the advice of your friends. Race built motors are just that and our 1000+ hp customers understand that any motor producing high hp will need freshening over time to keep it performing at it's maximum potential.
 
Special Offer: As a courtesy, HHP will provide a baseline startup tune when purchasing a stroker, camshaft and recommended injectors. We also provide a discounted email tuning package by our professional tuners.

    Quality Short Block

    Posted by Adam on Dec 26th 2022

    Very fast turnaround, I ordered it about a month before I shipped my core, I received the block less than a week later. No shortage of assembly lube was used. You can see where they took some material out of the crank to balance it. Cross hatching is beautiful, block is very clean and they even painted it in a fresh Hemi orange. I also had them install a camshaft and timing chain, and it looks dead on the money TDC and timing marks at 12:00 and 6:00. Can’t wait to get this engine fully built, broken in, so I can put down some power. Will update my review once that happens. A+ work BES and HHP!!
