yep ya got me..... i dont know f all about crate engines, but im happy with my custom built 516hp 483ft 383sbc............ i watched it on the dyno.(promtly wet myself)........... then handed over the money......... dunno if i would hand over the same kinda cash for a crate engine!!
if i did buy a crate engine i be tempted to get my mechanic to pull it down and reassemble....... cheap insurance i say!

i say there is merit either way......... but for me.... i do like havin the guy who screwed my engine together's mobile number if i have any issues!!

are all crate motors plug and play??
scuoooos my ignorance!!!!
