Five Flags Speedway changes made late model racing more affordable. The new Pro Late Model Division gives drivers an alternative to buying a $30,000.00 late model engine and still race in a premier division. The rules allow late model drivers to have two affordable engine options.

GM crate engine #88958604 GMR 350/400 Circle Track Engine. "Wet Sump"

This new GM crate engine is very affordable if used as designed by the manufacturer. Although these engines will be in Late Model chassis that normally turn 8000 to 8500 RPM's, the GM crate engine recommended RPM is 5800. Drivers electing to run the crate engine can use a Holly 650 HP 4150-80541 four-barrel. This power plant produced 355 HP @ 5500 RPM with 650 cfm carburetor on the dyno. The only question about the crate engine will be durability. If the engines are raced in their recommended RPM range, they should last a full season.

Iron Head 2 barrel engine "Wet or Dry Sump"

This is an engine built by professional race engine builders. They are quite a bit different than crate engines in that we can only use a flat tappet "solid lifter" camshaft versus a hydraulic roller. Also, this engine is limited to a Holly 2300 two-barrel number 7448 carburetor and we are only allowed to use unported 23 degree cast iron cylinder heads, unlike the 23 degree aluminum heads on a crate engine.

Engine builders are allowed to use parts of their choice as long as the parts are within the rules. Looking at the RPM range and the horsepower (400-425 HP) these engines make with the 350cfm carburetor, they can be built for a very reasonable amount of money. What we have done is come up with an engine using parts designed for this type of application and are less expensive those needed to make 600 plus horsepower turning 8,000 RPM's. We are actually able to build this engine for around $ 10,000.00 and feel very confident about the horsepower and reliability! For more info CALL 850-477-6468.
