SBF SHP Block Parts Kit Gen-2

The DART SBF SHP Block Parts Kit Gen-2 is a comprehensive engine block hardware assembly designed for Small Block Ford applications. This generation-2 kit consolidates critical fastener and bearing components into a single, organized package, eliminating the need to source freeze plugs, camshaft bearings, dowel pins, and pipe plugs individually. The coated camshaft bearings provide enhanced corrosion resistance compared to uncoated variants, a practical advantage for long-term engine storage or high-moisture environments common in marine and off-road applications.

Weighing 1.81 lbs with compact dimensions of 4 x 4 x 18.5 inches, the kit ships as a manageable assembly suitable for shop benches or toolbox storage. The inclusion of coated bearings reflects OEM-level attention to bearing surface protection, extending service life in variable climates. Dowel pins and pipe plugs are precision-manufactured to specification-tight tolerances, ensuring proper block alignment during reassembly and reliable sealing at all boss locations. The freeze plugs incorporate the coating treatment throughout the kit, providing consistent corrosion protection across all internal engine passages.

This kit is engineered for serious engine builders, restoration specialists, and field technicians performing Small Block Ford overhauls. Whether you're rebuilding a street engine, preparing a marine powerplant, or restoring a classic performance block, having all block hardware pre-assembled eliminates sourcing delays and reduces inventory complexity. The gen-2 design reflects feedback from end-users who demanded better packaging and consistent component quality across the entire assembly.

Small Block Ford engines remain the platform of choice across automotive restoration, marine, and off-road communities due to their proven architecture and vast parts availability. A properly assembled block with quality fasteners and coated internal components is foundational to engine reliability. The SBF SHP Block Parts Kit Gen-2 delivers all essential hardware in one verified package, saving build time and ensuring no critical component is overlooked during assembly.
