Fuel Pump - A minimum fuel flow of 75gph @ 60psi differential
pressure is required.
It is the responsibility of the customer to en-
sure that adequate fuel flow is achieved at the operating voltage of
the fuel pump. Engine damage can occur if fuel flow is insufficient.
• Fuel Pressure Regulator with Boost Reference.
• Spark Plugs - NGK - BR7EFS or equivalent, are highly recom-
mended for this application.
• Spark Plug Wires and Coil Mounting Hardware.
ENGINE OIL:
Your engine is supplied with Edelbrock Break-In
Oil in the crate. The engine oil must be changed no more than
300 miles after break-in. A CAT safe SAE 5W30 synthetic oil like
Edelbrock’s SAE 5W30 with CAT Safe
TM
Formula (#1071 1qt /
#1081 Case) is highly recommended.
OIL PAN CLEARANCE:
A GM Performance Muscle Car Oil Pan
Kit (PN 19212593) is used on the LS416 crate engines. Make
sure you have adequate subframe and ground clearance before
installing the engine.
START-UP:
The engine should be primed with oil prior to starting.
Install an oil pressure gauge to the existing oil pressure sensor.
Remove the spark plugs and disconnect the engine control unit
as well as the injector wires.
NOTE: Make sure ignition and
fuel are not provided to the engine.
Once fuel and spark have
been disabled, crank the engine using the starter for 10 seconds,
checking the oil gauge for oil pressure. If no pressure is indicated,
wait 30 seconds and crank again for 10 seconds. Repeat this
process until oil pressure is indicated on the gauge. Reconnect the
engine control unit, injector wires and reinstall spark plugs. Start
the engine and listen for any uncommon sounds. If uncommon
sounds are not present, run the engine at idle until it reaches
operational temperatures.

IMPORTANT NOTE
:
This instruction sheet provides general installation guidelines which can affect your warranty. Read it carefully. It
is not our intent to cover each detail of installation here as the procedures are vehicle specific. We want to caution you that installing
an engine is a complicated procedure that requires a good general knowledge of automotive mechanics. It is a good idea to refer to the
factory service manual for your vehicle. If you are not confident that you can complete the engine installation successfully, we suggest
you consider having it installed by an experienced mechanic.
CAUTION: This engine is NOT INTENDED for marine use.
DESCRIPTION:
This crate engine is built using a GM aluminum LS3 block with a forged and balanced Manley crankshaft, forged Manley
H-Beam connecting rods and Manley forged aluminum pistons which are then combined with Edelbrock’s E-Force Supercharger to create
a 416ci LS3 stroker with 4.065” Bore and 4” Stoke that will produce 702 horsepower and 658 ft-lbs. of torque on 91 octane pump gas.
Its compact design allows for a seamless swap into most platforms; eliminating the need for modifications to your engine bay or hood.
