Modern Tech. OEM Roots. Built for the Future.
Our OEM NSC short blocks are the ultimate evolution of the F-series engine — combining the legendary reliability of OEM components with cutting-edge Nickel Silicon Carbide (NSC) plating technology.
This build program has been in development and testing for several years. It’s now available to the public as a reliable, high-performance alternative to aging OEM shortblocks — at a fraction of the cost of a new one (if you could even find one).
What is NSC?
We replace the original FRM (Fiber Reinforced Metal) cylinder liners with Nickel Silicon Carbide plating — the same advanced surface technology used in modern supercars and MotoGP engines.
40% stronger than OEM FRM liners
20–30% lower friction than factory
No sleeves to shift, crack, or wear unevenly
Superior heat transfer and ring seal
The result is OEM-like reliability, with improved performance and longevity, all while retaining factory drivability.
OEM NSC Shortblock Includes:
OEM pistons and rods
NSC plated cylinder bores
Upgraded Toda timing chain
Balanced and blueprinted assembly
Ideal for NA or modest OEM+ forced induction setups
