Description
The Direct Connection HurriCrate Cat 3 twin-turbocharged 3.0L inline-six crate engine introduces next-generation forced induction engineering to modern hot rods, resto-mods, and competition builds. Engineered with state-of-the-art technologies—including twin low-inertia Garrett turbochargers delivering 26 PSI of peak boost, Plasma Transfer Wire Arc (PTWA) spray-bore cylinder liners, and high-pressure direct fuel injection—the HurriCrate Cat 3 produces an exhilarating 550 horsepower along with 531 lb-ft of torque peaking at just 3,500 RPM.
NOTE: Premium fuel recommended. Knowledge and execution of any powertrain control integration, cooling plumbing, and vehicle modifications necessary to install in your application are solely the responsibility of the installer.
