Anyone Considering A Crate Engine

[skennington]

I can speak highly of these guys and the engine they built for my car. You can customize anyway you like and there ready to run when delivered, other than adding oil. I know a lot of you will build your own, but for those like me who don't have the time, or the skills..lol! These guys are great!

I thought the same, got to be more to that deal..

 

[duff daddy]

lol that long block depending on miles is worth 5-1200 and the trans 500-800 and thats being wishful

Man, they sell crate motors. Everything is over-priced haha.

But seriously, they should know better than to even try selling that POS 4.6L.

I bought mine for my 98 for $1,700 engine with everything, trans, drive shaft, ecm, cluster and engine wiring all from a 02 GT.

Just gotta look hard for the good deals out there.

But we want good motors. With pushrods.

this coming from a guy who sold his pushrod for an OHC truck, then sold his OHC truck for an OHC car..... humm looks like you fail at making quality decisions in life huh? :tard:

But I never wasted my time with a POS 2v 4.6L anywhere in there did I? haha

Duh, just leave now, Duff Burned you SOO bad I can feel the heat over here! Seriously though, $7900 for a 365hp 351w? Can someone say rape with no vaseline? Give me $8000 and I can make a 10x better engine than that piece. My rebuilt 306 will around 350hp at the flywheel, and that's only $4500 worth(cnd dollar and with other parts added in on a fresh build).

 

[skennington]

Damn, what did I start here.. :dontknow: And I'm sure a lot of you can build a better engine at a fraction of the price but like I said, for those that can't/won't or just don't have the time, this is an option....:thumbsup:

Just checking out Roush/Yates CI's. Seems the Engine Factory is pretty competitive considering all the uppers are included...
