The Speedmaster PCE289.1002 is a set of three billet steel main caps designed to upgrade Chevy small-block 350 (SBC) engines from OEM 2-bolt to stronger 4-bolt configurations. These splayed-style main caps are precision-machined from billet steel for superior strength and durability, supporting high-performance builds and increased engine stress. The caps fit the middle three positions of the SBC 350 block and are engineered to work with 4-bolt applications, making them ideal for street performance, rebuilt engines, and racing applications where main cap reinforcement is critical.
These billet steel caps replace the stock 2-bolt main caps and are machined to OEM-compatible specifications. The upgrade provides better clamping force distribution and reduced block flex during high-RPM operation, which is essential for engine reliability in boost, nitrous, or high-output naturally aspirated builds. Speedmaster's precision engineering ensures proper fitment and alignment with your existing SBC 350 block and crankshaft assembly.
