Power Torque One-Stop LS Engine Build

Watch as PowerNation’s Engine Power team builds a reliable stock-to-mild engine that can be built quickly and affordably with basic hand tools. The foundation for the build is a Power Torque remanufactured engine block. Watch as hosts Pat and Frankie guide you through the painstaking process O’Reilly Auto Parts goes through to deliver a quality engine block for your next project. The duo will then complete the build using aftermarket parts sourced from their local O’Reilly Auto Parts store. Be sure to watch until the end of the show when the completed engine will be fired up for the first time and measured for horsepower.

This engine is an appealing option for any daily driver or project car. Why did we name the show “One Stop” you ask? Because the professional parts people at O’Reilly Auto Parts have made it easy for you to build one of your own and get all the parts in one stop at your neighborhood O’Reilly Auto Parts store. See build sheet below for details.
