Chevrolet Performance’s durable CT350 is the budget-conscious crate engine
racers can depend on for competitive performance and low maintenance—and
with 350 horsepower, it’s the perfect match for many short-track series.

The CT350 is based on our popular 350 HO high-performance street-class crate
engine and features a strong four-bolt-main block and iron Vortec cylinder
heads. A unique dual-pattern camshaft helps deliver almost 400 lb.-ft. of torque
between 2,000 and 5,500 rpm—peaking at 396 lb.-ft. at 3,800 rpm. With that
much pulling power, you can hold a gear longer, keeping the engine in its sweet
spot for quicker laps.

We assemble the CT350 with an 8-quart circle track racing oil pan, balancer,
HEI distributor and an aluminum high-rise, dual-plane intake manifold. Add
your carburetor, starter, spark plugs, wires and water pump—all available from
Chevrolet Performance—and you’ll be ready for the green flag!
