yeah from the fan to the flywheel oilpan to the carb. how much.thanks James

Answer:

Hello James: As you probably know, Harry T ran a steel head motor at Atomic back in 2004-2005. The last engine we had in the car back in '05 was totally re-built by Scott Pass while he was at U-Create in 2006. It's a much better engine now than when Harry T ran it (Bow-Tie heads, JE Pistons, Lunadi 50 LB. Crank, Victor Jr., 5.7 OLIVER Billet I-Beam Rods, .30 over 4 bolt steel spayed cap .010 Block w/water restrictors. Lifter valley sceened and tubed. Drilled and plugged for the single stage external pump or dry sump option). When we decide to run crates, the engine was loaned to a friend for the 2007 Season at Corbin. He won virtually every race in the Vintage Modified Div (rear trans seal went out while leading the last race of the year). The class has a 380 CID rule and that's about it. This little motor spanked some really high dollar motors all season long. After his 3rd win he had to start each race from 7th Place. I have a little over 11K in the engine but it also has 14 races on it now. Corbin is a short track so I figure the engine is about half-way to it's first refreshing job. This motor is also For Sale so that's why I wouldn't mind selling the 604 Crate motor. If I was going to use the motor, I'd probably do a legal valve job for 411 or The Mountain, check the bottom end and maybe change the cam (the one in it now is specifically designed for a 1/4-3/8 Mile oval). OK, here's the deal. The 604 crate Motor in Harry T's car is the second one we've had in the car. I bought it new and it only has about 10 races on it. It's been EXTREMELY well cared for, never had any "funny gas" run through it and always had either a #6700 or #6800 chip depending on the track and gear we ran. We've always kept the engine tuned "by the book" and never had any of the overheating problems other crate engines seem to develop. Harry T's best finishes were a 4th place at Tazwell and 7th Place at Wythville (and this was with a 15 yr old kid in a leaf-spring car). I bought our first 604 Crate engine used with the best belt system, intake plumbing, Water pump, Power Steering pump, fuel pump, MSD Distributor, flywheel and high dollar Raptor carb for $6,500. They kept the Tri-Y Headers and spacer plate (which weren't legal anyway, so that didn't make a whole lot of difference to me). Although it had a dyno sheet that said it made 420 HP ..... the engine had some problems from the get-go and never did run right. After I bought the engine, I learned that it had been taken out of a car that had flipped. I think the steel crank had been bent or cracked during the wreck (not that uncommon for a GM Steel crank in a car that rolls). I also know that the team I bought the first engine from had a front running car but also used some questionable tuning practices that caused their next engine to self-destruct before the season was over. The point I'm trying to make here is that it's anybody's guess when you buy a used engine (I found out the hard way). It's always best to know the background of a used engine BEFORE you buy it. Harry T has been offered a chance to test with a GRAND-AM Team this year and that's why we're selling the circle track stuff ... NOT because it's "junk". Bottom line: Both of the engines I have are extremely good engines and I'd sell either one for $5,500.00 (complete and running with all of the add-ons)plus whatever it costs to have someone do the swap.
