Fleece Performance Freedom Series Wet Aluminum Billet Block - GM LTR Standard Deck (10X) with Ductile Iron Sleeves
The Fleece Performance Freedom Series wet-sleeve aluminum block gives LTR/L5P builders a durable, repairable platform capable of 2,500+ horsepower while saving over 100 lbs compared to the factory cast-iron block. Machined from a massive 6061-T6 aluminum forging and fitted with high-strength ductile iron wet sleeves, this standard-deck block combines the heat dissipation and weight advantages of aluminum with the proven durability and cylinder sealing of a sleeved design ideal for daily-driven high-performance trucks or competition engines that still need long-term reliability.

Engines
Complete crate engines, long blocks, and short block assemblies give builders a reliable, matched-component starting point for engine swaps, restorations, and high-output project builds where sourcing a core and rebuilding from scratch costs more in time and risk than a professionally assembled replacement. The most sought-after crate engine platforms include the GM LS family in 5.3L, 6.0L, and 6.2L displacements, the Ford 5.0L Coyote and 7.3L Godzilla, the Chrysler 6.4L Apache HEMI, and small block and big block Chevy stroker combinations in displacements from 383 to 496 cubic inches. Long block assemblies include cylinder heads, camshaft, and valvetrain already installed, simplifying installation for most engine bay configurations, while short block assemblies are the preferred starting point for builders who want to specify their own top end components for a custom power and compression target. The swap market for all these platforms is mature, with engine mounts, wiring harness ...
