Here is the difference between the Pro Sprint engine and the Racesaver engines. The Pro Sprint 602 engines are only available from Pace Performance in Ohio.
They have the cam drilled and tapped to accommodate the fuel and Power steering pumps. Spec carb, headers, drive/balancer hub with yoke, carb spacer plate with throttle linkage and rev limiter with a 6,200 rpm chip.
The engines come with the GM seal bolts and Pace adds 6 numbered wire cable seals as well as their own wire cable seal that has a QR code on it that can be scanned with an I phone that has a web site you can go to to see the history of the engine. The base package is $5,179 and turn key, plug and play for $7,850.
There are other options like pulleys and belts and alternater with 5lb battery.
The Racesaver engine as I read them mandates minimum weight components like crankshaft and specs on other components like rods and heads.
To enforce rules the engines would have to be dissembled.
I recently read that they found that a company had built more than 50 illegal crankshafts tha had proper weight but had been modified.
Not saying there is anything wrong with the Racever program but we believe our program is more suited for true controlled cost and maintenance racing.
