Stock Hellcat displacement
426 ci
FAS stroker displacement
+34 cubic inches of displacement means more airflow capacity at every RPM. Same supercharger, more engine underneath it.
Three Reasons Builders Choose the 426
This isn't an impulse purchase. If you're looking at a $9,499 short block, one of these three situations fits your build.
You Spun a Bearing or Grenaded Your Bottom End
Your engine is done and you're not putting a stock rebuild back in. The 426 stroker is your fresh start — and your upgrade. New block, bigger displacement, ready for serious boost.
Signs: engine knock, metal in oil, rod through block, catastrophic failure
You're Building a Stage 3+ Car from the Ground Up
You already have the supercharger, heads, and tune plan. You need the right foundation. The 426 short block gives you the displacement and the forged internals to handle what you're planning.
Signs: you have a build sheet, you've been planning this for months, you know your HP target
You've Maxed Out Your 392 and Need More Cubic Inches
You've done the blower, the heads, the tune. The 392 is at its limit. Adding 34 cubic inches doesn't just increase displacement — it changes the entire ceiling of what's possible with your existing hardware.
Signs: you're already at 1,000+ WHP on a 392, you want more without going full twin-turbo

Shipping & Crating
The 426 short block ships freight due to weight and fragility requirements. Secure crating is required — we can provide a crating guide or recommend a shipping solution. Insured freight is strongly recommended. Questions about shipping? (812) 200-9012
