VEGE Remanufactured VC111P 5.7L 350ci Premium Performance Long Block Engine

Description

Halt expensive fleet maintenance delays with the VEGE VC111P Premium Performance Long Block Engine during your commercial long block repower. This 5.7L 350ci 8-Cylinder powerplant unleashes 290HP for severe commercial transport. Machinists must inspect transmission flexplate balance configurations because one-piece rear main seal crankshafts require counterbalanced flexplates to stop severe driveline vibration.

Solid ASTM A48 Class 35 iron forms the heavy four-bolt main bearing block structure. Every VEGE engine core includes a precision ground nodular iron crankshaft and shot-peened forged steel connecting rods. Stellite exhaust valve faces work inside sintered powder metal valve guides for heat dissipation. The 12V starter pulls 180A during cold crank tests. Net dry weight totals 475 lbs with dimensions of 28in length, 26in width, 27in height, with 5.0 quarts oil capacity.

Key Features of VEGE VC111P

Fleet operators buy VEGE VC111P Premium Performance Long Block Engine cores to finalize an industrial engine rebuild without costly equipment downtime. Robotic deck surfacing creates a Ra 30 surface finish to guarantee multi layer head gasket adhesion under severe operating stress.

• A massive 5.7L 350ci displacement provides the continuous torque required for commercial towing.
• Four-bolt main caps stabilize crankshaft journals against heavy torque deflection under load.
• Moly coated skirt pistons reduce cylinder wall friction to preserve shaft horsepower output.
• The VC111P commercial core camshaft timing delivers balanced torque across the entire truck RPM band.
• High volume oil pump gears deliver constant fluid pressure to overhead rocker arm assemblies.
• Cast iron exhaust seats resist pitting from low sulfur fuels during continuous highway transit.
• Multi layer steel cylinder head gaskets maintain fire ring seal against deck pressures exceeding 185 PSI.

Dynamometer Verification Operational Thresholds

Dynamometer cell checks confirm the VC111P long block engine generates 290HP and 340 ft-lbs of shaft torque at 4,400 RPM. Load cells maintain 2,500 RPM continuous duty while internal gallery oil pressure remains steady at 50 PSI to 65 PSI. Sump fluid stabilizes at 195°F and exhaust gas heat reaches 1,230°F. Combustion chamber compression registers 185 PSI across all eight cylinders within 4% variance. Crankshaft centerline runout measures 0.0003in TIR to verify true rotational alignment.

Field Installation Maintenance Protocols

Throttle cable linkages require 6 lbs pull force to guarantee positive return to idle position. Do not drop this commercial replacement engine into passenger sport coupes or watercraft lacking sealed water cooled exhaust headers. Maintenance teams must execute standard shop inspection protocols.

• Perform break-in oil drainage and filter changeout after 500 miles or 30 operating hours.
• Adjust hydraulic lifters cold to set zero lash plus one-half turn on the rocker arm nuts.
• Inspect cooling fan clutch engagement to maintain operating engine temperatures below 205°F.

Crate Manifest Coverage Terms

Every rebuild matches the proven VEGE assembly standard backed by a 3-Year 100,000-mile parts warranty. Inside the timber shipping crate sits the assembled long block core, steel oil pan, timing gear cover, stamped valve covers, oil pump with screen, and the certified shop dyno checklist.
