Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this BP38318CTF1 GM Small Block Compatible 383 C.I. Engine - 436 Horsepower - Base Dressed - Fuel Injected - BluePrint Engines designed for customers looking for a high-performance fuel-injected small block engine platform with increased displacement and flexibility for custom installations. This BluePrint Engines 383 C.I. crate engine delivers 436 horsepower and 443 ft. lbs. of torque while combining GM Small Block compatibility, modern EFI operation, and a base dressed configuration for builders selecting their own supporting components.

The BP38318CTF1 features a high-strength cast iron block, aluminum cylinder heads, hydraulic roller camshaft, hypereutectic pistons, and a cast crankshaft. The fuel-injected configuration provides improved drivability and simplified engine management compared to traditional carbureted systems while maintaining the familiar small block architecture preferred for restoration, restomod, and street performance applications.

The base dressed configuration provides a strong engine foundation while allowing customers to customize the final installation with their preferred accessory drive, intake components, exhaust system, cooling system, and vehicle-specific hardware. This engine package is ideal for builders looking for increased cubic inches without moving away from the traditional GM Small Block compatible platform.

Vehicle-specific components including engine mounts, transmission compatibility, fuel system requirements, EFI wiring, cooling system capacity, exhaust configuration, and accessory clearance must be verified before installation.
