Is installing the GM Crate 602 engine in the car any different than a custom built or GM Crate 604 engine?
The GM Crate 602 has an 8 quart oil pan that extends further than engines that use a 7 quart oil pan. For a proper fit LAMOT teams used spacers on the chassis engine mounts to raise their engines anywhere from a 1/2 to 1 inch. Driver #65 Mike Ticco converted his late model to LAMOT legal by changing the engine, shocks, carb, and flywheel in a few days.
