This publication provides general information on components and procedures that may
be useful when installing or servicing a CT400 circle track crate engine. Please read this
entire publication before starting work.
The information below is divided into the following sections: package contents,
component information, CT400 engine specifications, additional parts that you may need
to purchase, torque specifications, a service parts list, and a baseline chassis set-up.
The CT400 engine is manufactured on current production tooling; consequently you may
encounter dissimilarities between the CT400 engine assembly and previous versions of
the small block V8. In general, items such as motor mounts, accessory drives, exhaust
manifolds, etc. can be transferred to a CT400 engine when it is installed in a race car
originally equipped with a small block V8 engine. However, as noted in the following
sections, there may be minor differences between a CT400 engine and an older small
block V8 engine. These differences may require modifications or additional components
not included with the CT400 engine.
It is not the intent of these specifications to replace the comprehensive and detailed
service practices explained in the Chevrolet service manuals.
Observe all safety precautions and warnings in the service manuals when installing a
CT400 engine in any vehicle. Wear eye protection and appropriate protective clothing.
When working under or around the vehicle support it securely with jackstands. Use only
the proper tools. Exercise extreme caution when working with flammable, corrosive, and
hazardous liquids and materials. Some procedures require special equipment and skills.
lf you do not have the appropriate training, expertise, and tools to perform any part of this
conversion safely, this work should be done by a professional.
