Small Block Chevy (SBC) Engine Builds

The Small Block Chevy is the most-produced V8 in history for a reason — it’s simple, strong, and endlessly adaptable. Hawk Performance Engines builds custom SBC combinations in Pensacola, FL for street cars, trucks, and race applications.

SBC Platforms We Build

  • 350ci street and street/strip combinations
  • 383 stroker builds for a broader torque curve without changing the block footprint
  • Larger displacement strokers for customers chasing maximum cubic inches
  • Vortec and aftermarket block combinations

What Goes Into an HPE SBC Build

Block prep — boring, honing, decking — along with crankshaft grinding and cylinder head machining is handled at our sister shop, Car City Engine, before the block ever reaches our build bench. We then spec rotating assembly, camshaft, and top-end components to match your intended use, whether that’s a mild street cruiser or a strip-focused combination.

Common Applications

Camaros, Chevelles, C10 trucks, and countless swap applications across GM and non-GM chassis alike make the SBC one of our most requested platforms.
