IMCA Open motor guys. Question about this years performance.

[shockmod3x]

with all the accessories under ten k and tweaked at a motor builders shop for under 10k and if was go great wouldn't you see more drivers using them the 602 and 604 are legal

Wow all the answers...what motor do you run in your mod ?

[LITE-INN]

well you can be to smart I look at on the www found the 10 k but you can't and you call yourself a racer

[shockmod3x]

lol funny stuff coming from someone that does not have a mod, trailer, engine or any of the above, just go away troll, so actual car owners can discus actual issues, not the BS you dream up from what you read online.

If 10k is such a great deal then buy it and tell us all when what track you are gonna be at so we can all see how its done, until then please just go away no one needs your BS and guessing.

[LITE--OUT]

really....no I think you only go to eat hot dogs and drink beer, cause all on 4m know you dont race and dont have a car so no way you are racing at the track.

[roundboy]

Only thing LITE-IN, and whatever other user names he hides behide, is racing is his fingers on the key board!!! Its clear that this person has NO understanding about race cars and just likes to get people stirred up...

hear you go smartass People néed to quit calling this crate motor a $7500 motor, because its not. It may be roughly $7500 from GM but by the time you buy the water pump and drive kit to be able to run a fan and all the other parts that don't transfer over from a standard Chevy motor it's closer to 11k. And the oiling system isn't meant to handle sustained high rpm that's the single biggest flaw in this package it might work great on asphalt with a low rpm chip but not so much on dirt At 8??? Rpms. This motor in a 650 hp configuration with a dry sump and a real rebuilder program behind it would be awesome from bigg 88 fan

IMCA 604's run a 6400 RPM chip. Not sure why any other sanction that would allow them to run any more RPM than that.

[Mod77L]

The IMCA 604 is $5450 and is chipped at 6400 RPM. They use a standard water pump and most the same accessories as a pre-86 SBC. At worst, you need a new coupler for your direct drive tranny because of the 1-pc crank.

It sure sounds like you are talking about the CT525, which is not an IMCA-legal modified crate motor.

[LITE-INN]

5450 plus all the accessories are what carbs running 11 00 buck headers 300 bucks dizzy wires good oil pan fuel pump you start adding that up and what you have right around 10 k yeah your right it ways talking about ct 525

now go in the the back yard and play with your RACE CARS LMAO

[Mod77L]

You don't need a new distributor or wires for these engines. Springs and weights can be easily changed. Replacing the oil pan is illegal. Fuel pump is the same as any othe SBC. The carb and headers might be a valid point, but if I bought a bigger motor than what I have now, I'd probably have to get a different carb and different headers, so this is not a valid argument either. If you don't like the idea of crates, that is fine, you've made your point. Just don't expect people to believe that they need $4500 of accessories to change over to one.

[LITE-INN]

Great have the crates take over and allthese motors builders are out of business and also many fans i 'm one them would'nt go across the street to asee a fleet of crates running

[dirty white boy]

love a crate or hate a crate if its what ya wanta do,..but for 5000 bucks(round here) an run it for 2 to 3 full seasons without braking a seal on it is the way to go,..most track round here got 20 to 25 crate models every weekend! an dont worry bout them engine builders,..most are to busy inspecting protested crate motors an building crate motors thay really ant got time to mess with many custom motors to start with...one of our local builders has a hell of a crate carb program and i hear his dyno testing crates several times a day....most OWM on dirt round here running the $3000 buck 602s an people love them...me myself i miss the open motors...but we get several super shows a season an seems to please people just fine..round here!
