Benefits of an AMS Built Engine:
Every AMS-built engine is handcrafted with the same level of care as those in our world-record-setting race cars. When you choose an AMS engine, you're investing in over 20 years of knowledge from assembling thousands of race engines. Each motor is balanced, blueprinted, and built to our exact specifications, just like in our 3000+ WHP race cars. Before assembly, every block is inspected for proper dimensions, cylinder bore, main alignment, and block flatness to ensure a solid foundation. All assembled engines include a spec sheet documenting tolerances, torque specs, and clearances as part of our quality control process.
