VEGE Remanufactured VC36 5.0L 305ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Soft camshaft lobe flattening and oil ring glazing cripple light commercial delivery trucks on urban routes. The VEGE Remanufactured VC36 5.0L 305ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine restores dependable pulling power through a commercial long block repower. This 5.0L 8-Cylinder build develops 170HP, requiring mechanics to verify ignition distributor shaft end play before securing hold-down clamps.

Constructed around an ASTM A48 Class 30 gray iron block, this VEGE engine core houses cast iron cylinder heads and a nodular iron crankshaft. Cold starter draw pulls 160A at 12V. Dry engine weight measures 440 lbs inside 28in length, 25in width, 27in height dimensions with 5.0 quarts oil capacity.

Key Features of VEGE VC36

Fleet maintenance supervisors buy VEGE Remanufactured VC36 5.0L 305ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine assemblies to re-power older utility trucks while avoiding extensive chassis alterations. The hardened camshaft lobe treatment stops premature valvetrain collapse during prolonged low-speed urban idle conditions.

• Bore diameter measures 3.736in paired with a 3.480in stroke to optimize fuel-efficient fleet torque.
• Induction-hardened camshaft lobes prevent flat tappet wear during long municipal idling periods.
• Cast iron cylinder heads feature precision-machined valve guides to prevent oil weeping into ports.
• Heavy-duty hypereutectic pistons resist thermal growth to preserve tight piston-to-cylinder wall clearance.
• VC36 commercial core line-honing ensures true main bearing bore alignment across the block.
• One-piece Viton rear main seal stops chronic oil seepage onto vehicle bellhousing plates.
• Double-roller timing chain set prevents camshaft synchronization drift under heavy engine braking.

Bench Dynamometer Output Data

Dyno validation confirms mechanical parameters on each VC36 long block engine before shipping. The small block develops 170HP at 4200 RPM and 255 ft-lbs torque at 2400 RPM. Oil gallery pressure maintains 50 PSI hot at 195°F oil temperature. Cylinder compression balances out at 165 PSI across all cylinders with 3% variance. Crank runout limits to 0.0003in TIR. Exhaust gas temp tops out at 1230°F under full load.

Bay Constraints Maintenance Schedule

Throttle linkage pull requires 5 lbs force. This small-block Chevrolet build is NOT suited for modern computer-controlled direct-injection chassis, transverse van compartments, or vehicles running non-detergent engine lubricants.

• Perform break-in oil and filter changes following the initial 500 miles of highway driving.
• Confirm valvetrain adjustment cold, setting hydraulic lifters one-half turn down from zero lash.
• Verify cylinder head bolt torque down to 65 ft-lbs after the initial engine warm-up run.

Factory Guarantee Crate Inclusions

Protected under the dependable VEGE assembly standard, this remanufactured unit features a 3-Year 100,000-mile commercial warranty. The sturdy transport crate contains the long block engine, oil pan, valve covers, timing cover, oil pump with screen, and signed quality inspection sheet.
