900 HORSEPOWER. 880 LB-FT OF TORQUE. ZERO SUBTLETY.

When a regular big-block just won't cut it, Smeding Performance brings out the heavy artillery! Meet the 572ci Blown Big-Block Chevy, a supercharged monster packing 900 horsepower and 880 lb-ft of pavement-pounding torque.

With a polished 8-71 blower, dual quads, forged internals, and that unmistakable supercharger whine, this beast isn't interested in blending into traffic. And the wildest part? It runs on 91-octane pump gas!

Built for those who believe there's no such thing as too much horsepower. If you're going to make a statement, make sure the whole neighborhood hears it!

The best excuse to take the long way home? A small-block you actually enjoy driving.

Smeding Performance’s 383 Cruiser puts 380 horsepower under the hood with the easygoing manners that make you reach for the keys more often. Its mild hydraulic roller cam keeps things comfortable around town, while compatibility with automatic overdrive transmissions and stock torque converters makes it a great fit for a car built to rack up miles.

There’s solid hardware behind those manners, too: a heavy-duty four-bolt main block, forged steel crank and rods, aluminum heads, and an Edelbrock Performer EPS dual-plane intake. All backed by Smeding’s three-year, unlimited-mile warranty.

Got a classic Chevy, hot rod, or pickup that deserves more road time? Give the 383 Cruiser a look. Then start finding excuses to go somewhere.

You didn’t build that car just to idle through the parking lot. Give it a small-block that enjoys winding up as much as you do.

Smeding Performance’s 406 Eliminator brings 540 horsepower to the party with a big-bore, medium-stroke combination built to rev. Inside its heavy-duty four-bolt main block are a forged steel crank, forged rods, and JE forged aluminum pistons. Aluminum heads, a hydraulic roller cam, and a Holley Strip Dominator intake handle the breathing.

That’s a serious combination for the Chevy you’ve been building in your head—and the one waiting in your garage. Backed by Smeding’s three-year, unlimited-mile warranty.

Some engine bays were made for a 427. Smeding’s Mighty Mouse gives you 560 reasons to make room for one.

This 427-cubic-inch small-block Chevy packs a heavy-duty four-bolt main block, a forged 4340 steel crank and H-beam rods, forged aluminum pistons, and high-flow aluminum heads. A hydraulic roller cam and Holley Strip Dominator intake round out a combination with serious street-and-strip intentions.

For the hot rod, muscle car, or classic truck you’ve been itching to wake up, that’s a whole lot of small-block attitude. Smeding backs it with a three-year, unlimited-mile warranty, too.

Got big plans for your next LS build? Let’s talk.

The Smeding Performance 427 LS3 Long Block comes in configurations rated for 1,300 or 1,700 horsepower, so you can start with a package that fits your goals. Both feature a heavy-duty iron 6-bolt block, a 4340 steel crankshaft, and CNC-ported LS3 heads. Stepping up to the 1,700hp package gets you upgrades including 300M billet rods and JE Ultra pistons.

We set bearing clearances and ring gaps for your specific application, and we can help you choose the right piston volume and camshaft to bring your combination together.
