This remanufactured Chevy, GMC, Cadillac 350 5.7L engine includes the following enhancements from Fraser Engines:
Chevy, GMC, Cadillac 350 5.7L Engines
The Chevy, GMC, Cadillac 350 5.7L engine (also known as the “Chevy Small-Block”) is a V8 engine designed specifically for vehicles from General Motors Corporation.
The base engine consists of:
A cast-iron engine block and cylinder head
Overhead Valve (OHV) design
Throttle-body fuel injection or Multi-Port Fuel Injection (MPI)
Hydraulic roller camshaft
The engine specifications include:
The Chevy Small-Block has a long history and has been used in a wide variety of GM vehicles, including the Chevy Camaro, Corvette, Silverado, Tahoe, and Suburban; GMC Sierra and Yukon; and Cadillac Escalade. It was also used in a number of other GM vehicles, including the Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and Buick Regal. The engine was in production from 1955 to 2003 and is still used in some aftermarket applications today. The Chevy Small-Block is known for its durability, reliability, and versatility, and is a popular choice for high-performance and racing applications.
Introducing the 5.7-liter Small Block V8 for Chevy/GMC/Cadillac vehicles spanning the years 1987-2003, Fraser Engines takes pride in offering a powerful and reliable engine for your ride. Employing a time-tested overhead valve design (OHV) in a V configuration, the Chevy Small Block 5.7L engine has been a cornerstone of automotive performance for over a decade. Originally introduced in 1987, this engine has left an indelible mark on the automotive landscape. With a reputation for durability and performance, the Chevy Small Block 5.7L engine has powered a wide range of vehicles, providing a blend of power and efficiency. Our commitment to quality at Fraser Engines is evident in the meticulous remanufacturing process applied to every engine. Our comprehensive packages include the cylinder block, rotating assembly, cylinder head, valve train, and installation gasket set (oil pump not included).

Our journey begins with a thorough visual inspection of each engine block for casting defects. We meticulously disassemble the components, inspecting each part for damage and identifying the cause of failure. We remove oil and water passage plugs to guarantee optimal results during thermal cleaning. We select only premium castings for our marine blocks, insisting on replacements in all salt-water applications. For high-performance engines, we utilize premium cores, never employing repaired castings or sleeved blocks, preserving the authenticity of your classic car’s original block casting with our skilled technicians’ craftsmanship.
We elevate engine parts to a new level of clean with our thermal cleaning system. This process evenly distributes heat throughout the chamber, avoiding overheating or warping. Components are heated in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere, decomposing combustible hydrocarbons and leaving parts dry. We use the Ace RKE 230 oven exclusively for cast iron blocks, ensuring ash residue is effortlessly removed in the subsequent stainless steel shot blasting phase.
Our shot-blasting method employs stainless steel shot to remove surface contamination like rust, creating a smoother finish. This step is vital for detecting surface and subsurface defects during quality inspection. The peening process imparts compression strength to the metal, preparing it for a preliminary defect inspection.
We use magnetic particle inspection to detect cracks and imperfections in ferrous engine parts, ensuring the highest quality for our cast iron blocks. Before proceeding to aluminum blocks, we explain their specific cleaning, testing, and defect checking processes.
Aluminum engine blocks first encounter our AXE SW20 OS spray cleaning system, which removes all foreign material with its powerful spraying action and multi-integrated nozzles. This step is crucial for a thorough inspection.
We use ultrasonic cleaning for aluminum blocks, known as the benchmark in cleanliness. This method reaches inaccessible areas, breaking the bonds that hold small particles to surfaces. Post-cleaning, the block undergoes pressure testing.
We employ the Delta Pressure tester to double-check for pinholes after magnafluxing and dye testing, ensuring the integrity of all castings used in our products.
After a complete visual inspection, we repair minor casting defects, remove broken bolts, tap threads, and perform gasket surface repairs to minimize stock removal.
We use the RMC CNC V40 enclosed machining center for precise and versatile machining. This computerized machine measures and levels blocks, measures deck heights & cylinder bore sizes, eliminating operator error. Our machine determines Ra finish based on block type and gasket used, utilizing CBN cutters and checking surface finish with the Mitutoyo SJ-301.
The Sunnen LBB-1600 Hone, measuring accuracy within .0001″, is our choice for precision rod reconditioning and pin fitting, ensuring honed bores equal to or better than new rods. High-performance engines are fitted with ARP high-strength bolts and nuts prior to this step.
We are the first to use Rottler’s newest cylinder honing machine, ensuring the most accurate honing with cylinders finishing within .0001″ roundness and straightness. This machine continuously analyzes and corrects the bore, maintaining evolving engine designs’ critical oil clearances and machining tolerances.
After precise machining, our blocks undergo a second high-pressure wash cycle, ensuring absolute cleanliness for final assembly.
We ultrasonically clean all parts prior to assembly, ensuring the ultimate cleanliness level. This method reaches every surface and internal area, providing the cleaning force required for the most stringent standards.
Each assembler at Fraser Engines conducts a thorough visual inspection and measures parts for proper size. We fit blocks with new cam bearings, oil restrictors, relief valves, new water and oil plugs, and more. Cylinder heads are installed with new bolts and gaskets, and each cylinder’s seal integrity is checked. The final inspection by our assembly manager ensures the highest quality for your remanufactured engine.

This process not only enhances the quality of the finished product but also extends the lifespan of the engines we remanufacture.
Use conventional or break-in oil (non-synthetic) for the first 600 miles of operation. Do not drive for long periods at any single speed, always vary your speed. Do not tow a trailer or put other heavy loads on the vehicle. Check the engine oil and coolant levels daily.
At 600 Miles change the engine oil and filter using conventional (non-synthetic) oil. Check fuel and ignition settings; adjust valves (where applicable).
After the first 5,000 of service synthetic engine oil may be used. Follow your vehicle owner’s manual for service intervals.
