CRATE PLUS ENGINE PACKS

CRATE PLUS ENGINE PACKS

Taking the Crate Engine.......a step beyond!


Pro Car Associates has been involved with many engine development projects with the GM Performance Parts organization of General Motors over the years. This experience is now becoming available to you.


Why "Crate-PLUS" engines?

At Pro Car, we believe in matching the base crate engine to your specific application and providing the intake and tuned fuel delivery system that meshes with your car or truck, and your performance expectations.

Pro Car will be focusing upon the GM LS-series initially, since we believe current technology-based small- and big-block crate engines will allow us to provide our customers with the best value.


Why LS-series focus?

  • EFI/COP electronic ignition systems provide the customer with great drivability and performance over the longest period of time.
  • Matching the engine's tune package to the vehicle's weight, transmission and final drive gearing, plus the intended use, the customer receives a package which will meet expectations.

Can we provide a carbureted package?
  • Yes, if that is the customer's desire. And as with electronic engines, we'll provide the proper sized carburetor/intake package for the heads, cam, gearing, vehicle weight and the intended use. 

Is the engine ready to install?
  • Yes, Pro Car will break the engine in on our engine dyno, and provide you with the dyno spec sheet with the engine.
  • We recommend bringing the car or truck to our shop to have it installed, and run on our Dyno Dynamics 450DS chassis dyno to establish a base-line tune up which is matched to your vehicle.

Initially, Pro Car Associates will be focusing on the GMPP LS Crate Engines. In the future, we fully intend to offer Crate-PLUS programs for Ford and Chrysler enthusiasts.

Call us today for more details on the Pro Car Crate-PLUS engine program, and see why we say, "We take the crate engine... a step beyond!"

tiretown rat 1969

OUR STORY

Pro Car Associates was founded in 1969 by a pair of young enterprising engineers with a passion for drag racing, Chuck Wright and Jim Cavallero, who also owned Diamond Racing Engines (later to become Diamond Racing Pistons). Their focus was to make a strong impact upon the motorsports marketplace, which was undergoing explosive growth.

They chose to enter drag racing’s flourishing Pro Stock class with a 1970 Camaro built and prepared by Pro Car, and driven by rookie Jim Hayter. The effort was highly competitive, with Hayter running consistently in the 9.70s, and a threat to win on any given Sunday. Hayter’s effort in the new team’s Camaro did not go unnoticed, winning the National Hot Rod Association’s Rookie of the Year award for the 1970 season.

The success of the Pro Stock effort placed the Pro Car name at front of the ranks of engine and chassis builders of the period, and served as a springboard for both men to build their careers. Although the partnership was short lived, and Chuck bought Jim’s interest in Pro Car, the two have remained close friends.
