February 2014 Back

Craig Thatcher has been having a great year in his debut season for the United States Modified Touring Series ( USMTS ). Craig drives the #91 Tri Star Engines car and is already getting some attention in the Midwest; check out this latest unofficial USMTS "Power Rankings" from racindirt.com;http://www.racindirt.com/index.php/usmts-usra-power-ranking/item/1750-usmts-usra-power-rankings-09-03-13. "Thatcher is the real deal and seems unfazed when the touring invaders come to his stomping grounds. Impressive runner-up finish at Deer Creek is his best of the weekend" Check out our blog on tristarengines.com to stay up to date on the #91 car as we near the end of the season.

Here's a short interview with Craig Thatcher after his runner-up finish at Deer Creek: http://youtu.be/y5Gz1FiOCZ0?t=1m38s

Check out this episode of "Dirt Everyday" from Motortrend's Youtube page for an awesome feature of a Model A off-road conversion with a Tri Star 347 stroker Ford engine. Owner Tim from Pennsylvania purchased this 347 in early 2013 shortly after his friend bought the exact same engine! You can find the 347 and all of our Ford performance engines at this link: http://www.tristarengines.com/performance/ford-crate.php

Check out this Chevy 383 stroker fresh off the dyno. This bad boy is going into an airboat down in Florida. Coming in with 485 peak horsepower and almost 500 torque, this 383 stroker will definitely get the airboat moving!

When it comes to the most horsepower for your dollar our 383 stroker a top choice. Looking for the best value in 383 strokers? View all of our Chevy 383 stroker builds at this link: http://www.tristarengines.com/catalog/high-performance-crate-engines/gm/383.html

Watch the performance video of Mike's 383 Stroker on the dyno.

Fresh off the dyno this 383 stroker for Mike from Florida came in with 456 HP and 470 TQ with a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft and Dart SHP cylinder heads.

In an effort to provide the best value and most American made crate engines, Tri Star will now be making the Dart SHP series cylinder head the standard head for our entry level small block Chevy engines.

Dart SHP heads are cast in the United States from A356-T6 aluminum alloy and offer upgrades superior to other aftermarket castings at comparable prices. These Dart castings are also available in a variety of intake runner sizes. The correct runner size allows us to better customize the engines to achieve the maximum torque at a low RPM for the best street/strip engines.

For more information on the Dart SHP casting cylinder heads you can view the product page at this link: Dart SHP casting cylinder heads

The “Tri Star brand” HP aluminum castings will still be available while supplies last; They are a great casting but are not in line with our goal of having the most American made crate engines available.

I think my favorite part about selling performance engines is seeing the vehicles the engines go in. Check out the link below to see our new Facebook album that features some awesome rides that have Tri Star performance engines in them!
