CRATE ENGINES CIRCLE TRACK
A great racing engine based on our proven ZZ4 small-block crate engine!
With the heart of the proven, durable ZZ4 crate engine, the 350/355 Limited Late Model factory-sealed racing engine
has all the power to keep you at the front of the pack for Saturday nights feature race.
The 350/355 is rated at 355 horsepower and 405 lb.-ft. of torque and has all the tough basics of the ZZ4 street engine,
including a forged steel crankshaft, hypereutectic pistons, steel hydraulic roller camshaft and aluminum cylinder heads.
The high-performance ZZ4 heads feature D-shaped exhaust ports and high-velocity intake runners to promote fast and
unobstructed flow through the engine, providing great high-rpm performance on the racetrack.
An 8-quart circle track oil pan, with dual kick-out design, handles the oil storage, along with a valve cover breather kit
and special "kool nut" rocker nut design. The assembly also includes a dual-plane high-rise intake manifold, HEI distributor
and cast iron water pump.
