Choosing Your New SRT-8 Stroker Engine: Explanation & Basic Build Sheets

[jeff@hhp]

Few engine builders have been around the Late Model HEMI market as long as Tony Bischoff of BES Racing Engines and at HHP, we're proud to be the exclusive dealer 6 years running for these top of the line strokers. Tony has won the Engine Master's competition 3 out of the past 4 years and in 2010 he beat the competition with a 5.7L based 700 horsepower naturally aspirated late model HEMI. When we look at the fastest street cars in the country, our BES short blocks are in the top two quickest street cars. Our motors are definitely built by BES for strength and longevity and our long time winning track record speaks for itself.

If you are researching and planning on purchasing a stroker, here are 6 of the best engines to choose from:

392 Stroker Short Blocks:

HHP/BES Street Series 392 SRT-8 HEMI Stroker Short Block HHP392SBTS
HHP/BES Sport Series 392 SRT-8 HEMI Stroker Short Block HHP426SBSS
HHP/BES Professional Series 392ci SRT-8 HEMI Stroker Short Block Engine HHP392SBPS

426 Stroker Short Blocks:

HHP/BES Street Series 426 SRT-8 HEMI Stroker Short Block HHP426SBTS
HHP/BES Sport Series 426 SRT-8 HEMI Stroker Short Block HHP426SBSS
HHP/BES Professional Series 426 SRT-8 HEMI Stroker Short Block HHP426SBPS

With our strokers, the main difference in pricing is due to the rotator used during assembly which consists of the crank, rods and pistons. All engines have piston options in order to reach desired compression. The craftsmanship that goes into each engine from BES is the exact same so no matter what. Both BES and HHP stand behind our strokers because we know that you are getting an engine that will have no issues.

Street Series Rotator: K1 (the least expensive by far, decent quality parts)
Sport Series Rotator: Manley (Our most popular, an awesome rotator for the price)
Professional Series Rotator: Callies (Very high end, superb finishing, choice of most racers)
