mopar crate engine
There's someone here with one of theirs. Do a search and PM them. I think they were for the most part satisfied. I still dont think they are doing what they say. However that's just experience talking. I havent talked directly to them. I wouldnt buy a crate enigne any way. But for some people, it needs to be an option. As far as Mopar's crates... the more exotic, the worse they seem to be. Get a 360 Magnum, you're fine. Get a stroker small or big, or Hemi, and roll the dice. IMO, they get too much money for the problems they sometimes ship with, that they wont stand behind. But like I said, for some customers, that is one of the only options. But in this day and age, any engine can come from or go to anywhere. It adds about $500 to the cost of an engine to ship it coast to coast. Some of my best work is in CA...lol. SO the next question is, how much is the extra peace of mind a reputable shop/builder gives you worth to you? $500 on a $5500 budget is less than 10%, and that's assuming you have to ship that far.
