As long as the compression ratio doesn't exceed 10.0,the crate 602's legal.
As far as I know,
Nobody here is running one.
...I don't know of anyone down south that's running a crate motor either, they're stuff's all pretty much set on kill.

Por Que..?

just curious... my dad was talking about x mod, its growing out here finally... one guy just started running one here, says its a power house.. the 604's are dominating the a mods here.. open motors are useless, even whitwell got his doors blowed off trying to run open.... soooo just getting opinions and seeing if anyone in your neck of the woods had any input

Saw where Canyon's started running X mods again...
So every track in Arizona except Yuma, is now running X mods on a regular basis...that's great.
Throckmorton's paying $500.00 to win for X mods in Tucson, every show.They're pulling some serious car counts.
As far as motors...
The restrictor plate really leveled the playing field.
Royal & Jimmy Ray hit the re~set button&it worked.
Everyone's gone to the Holley 4412.
Whole lotta hogged out Rochester's for sale...cheap.

Down south in Cruces/EP they're running some stout bullets.
Here in Abq.the motor situation is still under control...which is probably why we have a slew of cars.
It would be interesting to see how a 602 crate would fare in an X mod.
The way your dad rails Grants...it would be great to have him come&run with us.
4th of July...weekend,2 day show in Grants.
Rumor has it...minimum $500.00 to win.
That should draw a good field...
Hope you guys come down.

602 crate=350 c.i.
9.01 compression ratio.
it's a legal piece.

Not only does 602 refer to the last three of the part# 88958602, not the C.I.D. but it has a cast crank, dished 4 valve relief pistons, 3/8 pressed in rocker studs, stamp steel rockers, and Vortec heads with 1.94/1.5 valves. 9.01 to 1 compression. The only thing that would need to be changed is the intake, as they are aluminum. Now a 604 is illegal as it has roller cam, aluminum heads, and aluminum roller rockers... Just an FYI. http://scottsautomachine.com/crate_engines

the 602 is legal but we have not had anyone run them... we have had to disallow 2 people this year due to too much compression but they were home built motors and I don't think they meant to be over. it's not an exact science... our rule is 9.5 but we give you .5... so at 10.0 you are good at 10.01 you are dqd. great class.

Im curious, what saves more $$$ on a Motor, limiting compression, or RPM's??

the whole changing the intake kinda sucks... be nice to be able to change carb in 10 mins and head to NM (if we ever went crate/xmod)

Yeah, don'cha just hate rules!? hehe...
Quit being a whiny kathy...it's only an intake.
You have a car, you have a bullet,
just do it...
You guys will have a blast.

With all the marine dealership's in Az . Somebody's bound to have a mercruiser/vortec
manifold laying around.
btw, your buddy Brian Schultz hooked me up, good guy...
