Description

The "Workhorse" model is specifically designed for the working man who requires maximum durability and reliability for regular heavy hauling and strenuous towing. Key Features and Fixes Upgrades Over the Daily Driver: Billet Flex Plate, Coated, Fly Cut and Delipped Pistons, Stage 2 Cam. High-Output Performance: Rated for 425+ HP capability, delivering significant power over stock for demanding applications. Fully Balanced Rotating Assembly: Precision-balanced components ensure smooth, vibration-free operation and extended bearing life at high RPMs. Billet Freeze Plugs that are securely bolted to the block are used, eliminating the failure-prone factory soft plugs which can corrode or blow out under pressure. The Workhorse uses heavy-duty forged metal rods to ensure the bottom end can reliably handle the increased power.
