Just wondering what it costs and if it is the 290 hp g.m. stock replacement
engine??
thank you.
part number too please
Part # 12499529. is this what the thunders at sunset use??
The GM 290 HP crate engine is 12499529. I have heard anywhere from $1800 to $2600. The cam does not conform to either Barrie or Sunset rules. I don't know if anyone uses the 290 at Sunset, I have heard some guys at Mosport use it though.
The last I heard the crate for Barrie is about $3200 and is available through the speedway. It is a Stefco rebuilt.
Does this answer your questions?
