JBA PERFORMANCE ENGINES - CHEVROLET

Large Chevrolet logo Chevrolet, Mom and Apple Pie, the American way translates at J Bittle American Performance Engines into hundred years of experience with Chevrolet racing and engine building experience with all our staff blueprinting horsepower for top speed runs at Bonneville to Sprint Cars, to all aluminum big block road racing dry sump Can Am cars and Alcohol Dragsters to NHRA stock eliminator. If you are looking for the original 30-30 camshaft sound out of your ’65 327 or want the right DZ cylinder heads and manifold on your angle plug LT1 Corvette your request is blended with the best internal rotating assembly available, custom designed to match your expectations. The current most popular muscle car power plant, our JBA 383-stroker combination, can be matched up to your original cylinder heads or the newest bad to the bone AFR aluminum cylinder head CNC prepared. Our newest JBA off-road LS7 combinations with FAST intake, naturally aspirated can exceed 700 horsepower or have us re-ring your original LS1 or upgrade your build to an LS3.

Rat power is an all day event at JBA, when we constantly find that balancing and blueprinting new GM crate engines or short blocks is necessary if you want the cylinder bore to piston clearances right, so your muscle car makes power. When you paint bow tie orange on the aftermarket cylinder heads and mill off the intake brand name, that 502 or 572 sure looks similar to the original 396 that came in the SS. If you are reminiscing about that 375 horsepower 396 you rode in 1972, we can make sure you have the right rectangle port and camshaft grind to win that muscle car competition. L88, LS6 and ZL1 street-machines dominated the boulevards across the country and today those 427 and 454 original power plants are still popular if nostalgia performance is your game.
