363 Viper Forged Windsor Stroker Short Block
from $6,399.00
The Reid's Speed Shop 363 Viper is designed for those seeking maximum naturally aspirated performance potential from the compact 302-based Small Block Ford platform. Combining increased displacement, a large 4.125" cylinder bore, and a heavy-duty aftermarket engine block with a fully forged rotating assembly, the Viper provides an exceptionally capable foundation for serious street performance and high-horsepower applications.
At its foundation is a Dart SHP 302-based engine block featuring splayed four-bolt main caps and a priority main oiling system. The larger 4.125" bore, combined with a 4340 forged steel stroker crankshaft, forged 5140 H-Beam connecting rods, and DSS forged pistons, provides increased displacement while retaining the compact dimensions of the traditional 302-based Small Block Ford.
Every short block receives professional machine work, careful component preparation, precision measurements, and final assembly. Each engine block is also painted in your choice of color.
