FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TORRANCE, Calif. (Apr. 20, 2005) - It debuted at SEMA and caused quite a stir, and now orders are being accepted for the ultra-exclusive, limited-edition Vic Edelbrock Signature Series 383 cubic-inch stroker crate motor with performance and a custom look you won't find anywhere else. Only 250 units will be made available and folks are already requesting serial numbers!

Piece by piece, Edelbrock products deliver out-of-the box performance that's second to none, and the SS383 crate engine proves it once again. Edelbrock has taken many of its parts and put them together in a timeless piece designed with looks, performance and a sense of history.

The new motor, which goes a step beyond Edelbrock's trademark "Power Package," is built on brand new GM short-blocks. This special-edition Performer RPM Signature Series crate engine (#46213) includes high-quality Edelbrock performance parts as well as quality pieces from MSD, Milodon, ARP and more.

The heart of this power plant is a pair of Edelbrock E-Tec 200 cylinder heads (#60989) with valve motion supplied by Edelbrock's hydraulic roller cam. Top it all off with an RPM Air-Gap manifold (#7516) and 800 cfm Thunder Series AVS carb (#1813), and you've got power to spare. Power like this: 460 horsepower & 460 ft/lbs of torque--that kind of power. To make it look as good as it runs, the custom aluminum valve covers and air cleaner feature a black anodized finish with laser-etched insignia and Vic Edelbrock's signature.

Each engine is serialized and comes with a certificate of authenticity. All Edelbrock crate motors are delivered in a unique, reusable plastic crate, fully assembled and ready to install, and come with an industry-leading 24 month, unlimited-mile insured warranty. Engine lists at $10,232.95.
