ABOUT OUR PERFORMANCE STREET ENGINES
CAROLINA MACHINE ENGINES is an expert at extracting the most horsepower and producing the most dependable High Performance Pump Gas street engines available. We are able to do this because of our long time involvement in racing and performance street rodding and because of our experience as a Production Engine Remanufacturer (PER).
Although we produce "high end" Performance and Race engines with all the best available parts, we also produce more economical engines that use one or more of the stock OE parts such as block, crank, rods, heads, oil pan, etc. These engines can produce amazing horsepower and give good long service when "done right". We have the ability to accomplish this because of knowledge and experience gained from decades of racing under basically "stock" type rules and regulations of the various sanctioning organizations.
We keep our customer's costs down by using "smart" selection rather than "convenient" selection. In many cases, It would be easier, but more costly, just to buy parts that are ready to use, than work with the OE type parts that already exist.
Regardless, each of our engines receives all new high Quality internal components, including performance valves, forged or hypereutectic pistons(when available), moly rings, brass expansion plugs, rod bearings, main bearings, cam bearings, pushrods, valve springs, rocker studs, hydraulic lifters, rocker arms, roller timing chain set, and a specially chosen and dyno proven performance camshaft.
We use the highest quality brand parts such as ACL, B&B, BULLET, COMP CAMS, CLEVITE, CLOYES, DURA-BOND, DETROIT, EAGLE, EDELBROCK, ELGIN, FEDERAL MOGUL, FEL-PRO, HASTINGS, HOLLEY, JESEL, K-LINE, LUNATI, MAHLE, MANLEY, MELLING, PERFECT CIRCLE, PIONEER, PROBE, RHS (Racing Head Service), SCAT, SEALED POWER (Speed-Pro), STEF'S, SILVOLITE, STERLING, TRW, US SEAL, US TOOL, VICTOR-REINZ & WEIAND.
Many people make their final choice based on the vacuum and idle characteristics of the engine. See the "Idle Type" column.
"SMOOTH" idle is as smooth or almost as smooth as a stock OEM engine and has high manifold vacuum, 18 inches and higher. These engines work well the stock exhaust system and torque converter but better with headers and performance mufflers.
"LOPEY" idle is a well defined lope, and will have fair manifold vacuum, around 14 inches. Although the stock torque converter can be used, these engines will perform better with a slightly looser torque converter-1600 RPM stall or more.
"CHOPPY" idle is a very noticeable performance idle and will have a lower manifold vacuum, around 8 to 12 inches. These engines need a looser converter - 2000 RPM stall or more.
All vehicles will perform better upon acceleration with a performance torque converter. We can advise you and supply you with the correct torque converter.
Many of our engines receive new aftermarket cylinder heads which flow much better than the stock OEM heads, therefore increasing the horsepower output significantly. "Stroker" engines have a crankshaft with a longer piston stroke than original. Some engines are all "Brand New". See footnotes.
Our "Complete Engines" include the oil pump, oil pump screen, oil pan, oil filter adapter, oil filter, dipstick, timing cover, balancer, valve covers, intake manifold, and spark plugs.
Engines are expertly machined, balanced, blueprinted, plate honed, line honed, decked, and sonic tested. Our Chevy Big and Small Block engines undergo a unique "LIFTER TRUING" process as standard procedure. A process rarely if ever used in the industry. This corrects the major cause of camshaft lobe failure which is more prevalent in performance engines due to higher valve spring pressures. They are then assembled by a highly capable technician and spin tested to check oil pressure, compression and oil circulation.
If something should happen to be awry in our engine, such as low power, low oil pressure, oil leaks, bad cam, etc., we want it to happen here at our plant before the customer receives it. Therefore we dynamometer test "EVERY SINGLE" complete version using comprehensive "break-in" procedures including the correct break-in motor oil and oil additives. The actual dyno sheet for that particular engine showing the horsepower and torque at various RPM points is provided with the engine. Also we disassemble the oil filter and inspect for evidence that the engine is okay. Finally the engine is pressure tested at the crankcase for oil leaks and then painted the brand color or purchaser's choice of color. Just install, fire it up and it is ready to go! No hassles for our valued customers.
Our horsepower figures are as honest as possible. Dynamometers can be calibrated incorrectly, either accidentally or purposely. We guarantee the quality, dependability, and accuracy of our engines. Some engines are not legal for sale or use on pollution controlled vehicles.
A 12 month - 12,000 mile written warranty is furnished with each Performance Street engine. For the best Performance Street engines available, please call, fax or email us for more information or to place your order.
