Looking for more performance for your Chevy truck? Karl Kustoms offers a Chevrolet Performance bolt-in replacement stroker just for you!
If you’ve got a tired 350 Vortec engine in your 1996-1999 half-ton GM truck or SUV, you should take a look at the HT383E crate engine. Affordable and powerful, the HT383E is a direct replacement long-block for the 350 Vortec. It’s easy to bolt in more horsepower and torque for effortless towing.
Like the standard HT383, this crate engine uses a cast-iron block with four-bolt main caps. It also includes a forged steel crankshaft, a smooth hydraulic roller camshaft, and cast iron Vortec heads. Its 9.1:1 compression ratio is perfect for regular gasoline at all altitudes and engine loads. It also includes a new water pump.
The HT383E is the same basic engine as the HT383. The HT383E is configured for easy bolt-in replacement of the GM L31 5.7-liter Vortec engine found in 1996 – 1999 half-ton models of the Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Sierra, and Yukon. It is backed by a warranty from Chevrolet Performance and Karl Kustoms low price guarantee!
