PRI 2013: Speedway Motors Debuts The All-New “Crate Buster”

Speedway-01In our modern global/domestic market, the options for aftermarket products are limitless. Speedway Motors is a company that touts decades of quality performance parts and relationships, as well as hands-on engine building and racing experience through the years.

Before that, the company’s founder, Speedy Bill, did things as they were done in the golden era, hand building parts for clients out of the garage. With growing demand came a need to expand his endeavors and resources. What we see in their line-up today are amazing examples of ingenuity, modern engineering, quality aftermarket relationships, and production efficiency while still providing the same care and love that goes into garage-built parts.

New to Speedway’s line-up for next year will be the “Crate Buster” featuring a BluePrint foundation matched with Speedway’s racing know-how. “BluePrint means fun reliable horsepower that you can drive every day,” so a reliable foundation, paired with some good ol’ fashioned racing gurus, and we know we’re in for a treat! This will be Speedway Motors exclusive crate engine, featuring the following:

  • Complete from intake to oil pan including distributor
  • Methanol – 515 hp and 469 ft/lbs of torque
  • Gas – 480 hp and 421 ft/lbs of torque
  • Speedway-03Power band specifically tailored to the IMCA 7800 rpm rule
  • Weighs within 10 lbs of GM 604
  • Forged pistons with narrow ring pack
  • Forged crankshaft
  • H-beam rods
  • Speedway Motors custom solid flat tappet camshaft
  • 9 qt. Speedway Motors racing oil pan
  • Ford 351N heads
  • Includes flex plate

Keep your eyes peeled. This will definitely be a hit amongst the dirt track racers out there, but you can bet that there will be some serious power seekers who might consider this for their next street rod or street machine build. Complete for only $5,449 you’ll be able to get your hands on some serious hp for for pennies on the dollar. Check out Speedway Motors for further details and to receive more information on when the product will make its final debut.
