How much is that sy ty crate eng. The street performance. Who sells good assm'd engines 800hp range
Does RPM still make engines?
A "Crate Engine" is manufactured from ALL NEW, never-run components. Nothing in a "Crate Engine" has ever been stressed or abused. All components have original clearances and tolerances. Cyl bores are Standard. Crankshafts are Standard. Block decks have never been distorted by multiple heat cycles and loadings from a running engine.
So my position is that SyTy "Crate Engines" aren't available from any source, because NEW components are no longer available to build one. However "Rebuilt Engines" certainly are. And they ship in crates. But in The Vernacular, rebuilt engines are NOT "crate engines".
Called about that same engine was told $10K
