Brought to you by the founder of Probe Industries and Coast High Performance, VPE Vigilante and Vindicator Short Blocks are built as a rock solid foundation for today's engine technologies. Based on Dart engine blocks, 4340 forged steel internally balanced crankshafts, and application specific connecting rods and piston/pin combinations. Also standard are ring sets featuring Nitrided Steel Tops with Napier Seconds and flow vent style oil rings added to high performance engine bearings. Whether you are planning a high winding naturally aspirated engine or going for a boosted monster, VPE has the combination you need to endure the load.
