602 Crate Engine
The CT350 by Chevrolet Performance is the powerful, durable and affordable IMCA legal engine that budget-conscious racers can depend on! It’s a perfect fit for a large number of short track racers, offering both race-winning performance and low maintenance.
This Chevy race engine is designed for circle track use in the IMCA Sport Mod and Hobby Stock classes. It features a strong four-bolt main block and iron Vortec cylinder heads. A unique dual-pattern camshaft helps deliver more than 300 lb.-ft. of torque between 2,000 and 5,500 rpm peaking at 396 lb.-ft. at 3,800 rpm. With that much pulling power, you can hold a gear longer, keeping the engine in its sweet spot for quicker laps.
GM assembles the CT350 Sealed 602 with an 8-quart circle track racing oil pan, balancer, HEI distributor and an aluminum high-rise, dual-intake manifold. Add your carburetor, starter, spark plugs, wires and water pump as well as GM’s anti-tamper bolts to seal it up. IMCA seals added at our location to legalize it for IMCA Crate classes. Engine ships with IMCA stamped seals installed.
