The Gen 3 HEMI has proven itself to be an outstanding modern performance engine. Today, there are more aftermarket options than ever for enthusiasts who want additional horsepower. Texas Speed & Performance (TSP) has expanded its footprint in the Gen 3 HEMI world with a full line of high-performance short-block offerings.
TSP created its 1,000-horsepower-capable, 426 cubic-inch Brawler Series Gen 3 HEMI short block for those who want more strength and reliability. The engine is built around a new BGE block, which is filled with a Texas Speed–forged 4.050-inch stroke crankshaft, 4340 steel H-beam rods, and Manley 2618 forged pistons. TSP assembles the short block with an ARP main stud kit and uses King bearings throughout.
For those wanting to step up in the performance department, the TSP 1,500-horsepower-rated Brawler Series 426 cubic-inch HEMI fits the bill. This engine is built for high-performance applications where a power-adder is used. It also starts with a BGE block, but TSP adds billet main caps for increased strength. Inside, the engine features a Callies Compstar crankshaft, TSP billet I-beam connecting rods, and custom TSP/MAHLE pistons. The block is further reinforced with TSP’s mini hoops to ensure cylinder sealing in boosted or nitrous applications.
If you want to swing the biggest Gen 3 HEMI bat, the TSP 2K HP-Rated 426 cubic-inch Gen 3 HEMI is the top choice. This short block is built using a Dart block as its foundation. A Callies Magnum crankshaft turns a set of TSP Billet Super I-beam rods and custom MAHLE 2618 forged pistons with upgraded wrist pins. This package is engineered to handle virtually anything you can throw at it.
