Highlighting Key Performance Engines

Chevrolet Performance Parts

At True North GM Parts, we’re all about pushing your Chevrolet to its limits. We showcase engines that turn your car into a powerhouse - think Small Block and LS Series, the heartbeats of performance.


Small Block Performance Engines

Small block performance engines pack a big punch for Chevrolet enthusiasts. Our 350 HO engine, for example, blasts out 333 horsepower and delivers 381 lb.-ft. of torque. This kind of power transforms your ride, giving it that muscle car spirit you crave.


At True North GM Parts Canada, we understand the thrill of beefing up your Chevy with top-notch parts like these.


Looking at our lineup, the SP350/385 stands tall with its impressive features. It cranks out 385 horsepower and offers 405 lb.-ft. of torque at a roaring 3,600 rpm. Its beehive-type valve springs represent just one part of a well-rounded package designed to elevate engine performance substantially.


And let’s not overlook the CT350 – another stellar choice priced attractively at $8,295 on sale – boasting Vortec Heads and dual pattern camshaft to push its capabilities even further with 350 horsepower and 396 lb.-ft. of torque.


These engines are more than just aggregates; they’re heartbeats waiting to bring life to your Chevrolet project or circle track racer while keeping emissions standards compliance in check across Canada’s diverse landscapes – from bustling city streets to wide-open country roads.


LS Series Performance Engines

LS Series Performance Engines stand at the pinnacle of power for Chevrolet. At True North GM Parts Canada, we’re proud to offer these incredible engines that blend high performance with cutting-edge design.


Take the LS364/425, a marvel with its 6.0L aluminum cylinder block and L92 aluminum heads, not forgetting the strong LS3 camshaft pushing boundaries with superior horsepower.

Exploring further, consider the LS364/475 engine, which takes things up a notch with an enticing 475 horsepower and 453 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse offers durability backed by a 2-year/80,000km warranty - a testament to its unmatched quality.


For those seeking even more intensity, the LS376/480 and LS376/525 engines deliver thrilling experiences with up to 495 horsepower and striking torque figures reaching 473 lb-ft.

Essential Performance Components and Their Impact

Upgrading your car’s performance starts with the right components—exhaust systems and air intakes can make a big difference. These parts work together to boost power and efficiency, helping your Chevrolet run at its best.


Importance of Exhaust Systems and Air Intakes

Exhaust systems and air intakes play vital roles in your Chevrolet’s performance. A proper exhaust system ejects gases from the engine quickly, reducing back pressure. This boosts horsepower — a key benefit for any vehicle owner looking to elevate their drive.


On the other hand, an efficient air intake system provides clean and filtered air to the engine, enhancing its longevity and performance by filtering out harmful particles. Regularly replacing the air filter is essential for maintaining this peak performance and fuel efficiency.


At True North GM Parts Canada, we understand how important these components are. That’s why we offer a wide range of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts that match your Chevrolet perfectly - from exhaust pipes to throttle bodies for carbureted or LS series engines and even high-flow filters for your intake manifold.


Each part ensures your car runs smoothly through dusty roads or polluted cities without losing power or damaging the engine. We make sure you find everything you need to unleash the hidden potential locked within your vehicle’s system with our selection of parts designed specifically for upgrading Chevrolet models like Camaro, Colorado, and more.


Role of Engine Components in Performance Enhancement

Upgrading engine components is key to boosting your Chevrolet’s power and efficiency. Think of your car’s engine like a team, where each part plays a crucial role in achieving the best performance.


High-quality exhaust systems and air intakes from brands like Holley can increase airflow, making combustion more efficient. This means more horsepower (hp) for your ride. For instance, swapping out the standard throttle body for a performance tuner design can offer direct gains in hp by ensuring the air-fuel mixture is optimized.


Our team at True North GM Parts understands that parts like forged steel crankshafts and four-barrel carburetors also make a huge difference. They reduce reciprocating mass and improve fuel distribution, respectively—both essential for squeezing out every bit of power from your V-8 engines or small block performers.


Upgrades to components like ball joints enhance handling precision, so your Chevrolet not only goes faster—it drives smoother, too.


We provide true OEM Chevrolet Performance parts, including Crate Engines and Engine Components, that are built to last, bringing race-proven technology right into your garage without compromising vehicle safety or legality in Canada.


With our selection—endorsed by legends such as Dale Earnhardt Jr.—you’re buying confidence alongside enhanced performance for models ranging from the classic Chevelle to modern warriors like the Chevrolet Camaro and Colorado.


Let True North GM Parts be your source for transforming your vehicle into a powerhouse on public roads or tracks alike.
