Crate Motors

[blue71]

anyone have a crate motor? I need some recomendations. or know where are some good places to look for one. I'm looking for a 351w. All I have now is a bare block, and I'm not sure if it's any good. was wondering if it would be better(or cheaper) to get a crate motor or start from scratch and have one rebuilt.

Heard a lot of bad stuff about indy mustangs. Do a search on www.corral.net forum.

This is probably a dumb question, but what is the difference between short and long blocks.

Short block doesnt have the heads on it. I dont think they come with the oil pump either. Long block comes with both.

try Keith Kraft

orBennett Racing

you'll notice they aren't as cheap as some but they are hand built with better parts and indclude alum heads not like the Indy motors. btw check out that $26K engine at Bennett's Holy Cow!!

Get a crate motor from Summit.

DO NOT GO WITH INDY MUSTANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was the turning point in my restoration to never, never, never, buy another big ticket item from someone
I did not know or a company that was not absolutly legit. Check the Better Business Burea.
