Karl Chevrolet to Host “305/Crate Engine” Meeting for Sprint Cars ANKENY, IA (Nov 14) – Karl Chevrolet and its GM Performance Parts division will host a meeting on Tuesday night, November 27th, to discuss the possible use of a GM Performance Parts Crate Engine in 305 Sprint Car competition. The meeting will be held in the conference room at Karl Chevrolet and is scheduled to begin at 7:00 pm. All Drivers, Car Owners, Sanctioning Organizations, Clubs and persons involved with 305 Sprint Car racing are invited and encouraged to attend. “I have been in contact with several persons regarding the possible use of a GM Crate Engine, as an alternative, in these Sprint Cars,” commented Chuck Stowe, GM Performance Parts Representative at Karl Chevrolet. “I have contacted representatives from the Midwest 305 Sprint Cars, Midwest Sprint Warriors, Mid American 305 Sprints, Ralph Capitani and John McCoy from Knoxville Raceway; they all have indicated that they will be present. All interested parties are invited to attend this meeting.” The specific engine that will be the topic of discussion is GM part number 88958604, which is an intake to pan engine based on the 350 Fast Burn 350/400 racing engine including: a bulletproof bottom end, anchored by a forged steel crankshaft and hypereutectic pistons. The 23 degree Fast Burn aluminum heads enable tremendous power in the small block V-8 because of a unique design that quickly and completely burns the air/fuel mixture, producing maximum power. Additional tech specs and information about this engine will be available at the meeting. Karl Chevrolet is located at 1101 SE Oralabor Road in Ankeny, Iowa. The conference room is located just inside the Accessories Show Room door located on the east side of the front of the dealership.
