Selling a turnkey complete, zero-hour 572 cubic inch Keith Black Aluminum Crossram Street Hemi. This is Build #85, meticulously machined, balanced, and assembled by the premier Hemi specialists at For Hemis Only (FHO). This engine has never been run, has zero hours, and features an absolutely no-expense-spared parts list.
As shown in the photos, this is a fully dressed, highly detailed powerplant. It includes the complete dual carburetor induction setup with performance linkage, hard fuel lines with inline filters, a fully wired distributor, a mounted ignition coil, a water pump assembly, and premium black finned HEMI valve covers. It is ready to drop straight onto a chassis.
Built on a newer-design Keith Black aluminum wet block, this architecture eliminates the need for messy external or internal rocker oil lines, delivering a visually pristine, traditional look perfect for a high-end Pro Street, muscle car, or street rod. The engine has been fully pressure tested, balanced (2446g bobweight), and features a 12.0:1 compression ratio paired with a street-friendly, tight-lash solid roller valvetrain.
