MRE is now offering fully CNC machined Dart LS blocks. This way a person can get a fully machined block, all to their specifications, all from one place (keep in mind, out of state customers do not pay sales tax). All the machining done to the block is performed on a new CNC machine. This way your decks, bores, lifter bores, etc. are machined in exact locations. Our prices on the blocks are very competitive since we do such a high volume. We stock over 100 Dart blocks at all times. We also offer more advanced machining operations that only a select few shops have these types of capabilities (we are the only shop that can lighten a Dart LS block).
After developing the LS7 Late Model package and seeing what potential this engine truly has, it only makes sense to do a Modified version. The drivability aspects of this engine excite us the most. It has killer acceleration, good low-end torque numbers, then runs out the back door like a Ford. It truly is the best of both worlds (Ford and Chevy). It also makes power levels beyond our 13 degree engines. So we would recommend it for bigger race tracks where you can take advantage of what it has to offer. It does fall in the same price range as our 13 degree engines, but it has a lot more performance to offer. Engine comes standard with a carb spacer, water lines, and a lift plate.
We are excited to announce that we are going to offer a new Late Model program completely focused around the LS platform. We are going to offer two types of engines based off the most bang for the buck to accommodate two different types of racers. This first engine, we are highlighting here, is more for the regional based teams. This gives them the opportunity to buy a brand new engine that makes the power levels needed to compete on the weekend events and on the traveling series shows without the "big team budget". Most of these guys try to buy used engines off bigger teams. We know how this can go very wrong (sometimes sideline a team for a season). Normally when someone is selling something used there is a reason for it...
MRE is proud to announce that we have wrapped up the skirted block lightening program. It is common knowledge how strong the LS block is, probably the strongest block of any format, but the downfall is how heavy it is. We have designed a lightening program to get 29-31 lbs. (without doing main caps) off of this block without sacrificing strength. There is a lot of unneeded material all over this particular block. We leave material in the critical areas but remove it where it is not needed. The pictures of this block truly do not do it justice…it’s a piece of artwork. We can do partial lightening programs or the complete package. As noted above, this is for the skirted block, we are in the process of finishing the non-skirted cast iron block and the aluminum version as well.

After a year of development, we have released our new Crate Killer engine for IMCA. The weight of the engine seems to be what most racers are concerned with. Our latest version weighs the same as a crate, give or take 5 lbs. either way. We are making approximately 525 HP on gas. So not only are we up approximately 75 HP but we're doing it on gas which has many advantages of its own.

We are now offering our new Crate Killer head as a top end kit. This head also works well for the B-Mod and 2 barrel racers. The advantage to this head is how well it drives on the race track and how LIGHT it is. After we are done with the porting and machining the bare casting weighs in at 37 lbs. This is very light for a steel head!

We offer a dirt Modified open type engine that is capable of running on pump gas. We originally came up with this for the obvious reasons of trying to make racing more affordable. Once we got to working on this combination we realized there were more advantages than just saving money. The engine makes awesome power!

We offer a complete Late Model package. We have had great success with drivers like Brandon Sheppard, Shannon Babb, and Ryan Gustin. Sheppard won both the UMP National and Summer Nationals titles in 2013 on MRE power.
