Saleen short and long blocks for 05+3v

Saleen has just announced their crate engine lineup. The lineup consists of 302 cubic inch short and longblocks, available both for naturally-aspirated or for supercharged applications.

Based on the 4.6L 3V Ford aluminum block, the entire internal package is upgraded with premium Saleen-engineered forged pistons, rods, camshaft, and crankshaft, exceeding the requirements of even the professional engine builder.

Packages range from 390hp (normally-aspirated 302 engines) to 580hp (super-charged 302 engines) using existing EPA-certified induction and exhaust systems. Furthermore, these packages can be further upgraded with 6-speed transmissions, high-performance clutch/flywheels, higher-performance rear end differentials, Watts link rear suspension, and of course, superchargers.
