You will never go wrong with Reher Morrison or Sunset Racecraft. However if you are looking more local call Chad here and ask if he knows any good ones close by.

MikeC66,

I have many years of experience and now I run my own shop. I worked for the "big" name shop mentioned here in the posts and have over 150 big inch race engines in service today. I have a great resume and outstanding references. Shoot me an email on what you want and I will send you a quote ASAP. Email: [email protected]

Thanks,
Sean Harris

You should be shopping for quality and expieriance, if your shopping price with this kind of thing your going to get burned. Remenber a "crate" motor is still built by a person and only as good as its builder, regardless of parts used. Try to establish a relationship with a builder who you feel comfortable with, mass produced crate motors wont have that personal touch.

Let me know if I can help....and P.S We have one of Reher & Morissons top builders running our program! So not only do you get top of the line engines with crate engine prices, but you also get a 2 year warranty by a company who will be around to back it :wink:

Tell M.J. I said hello, from "The Dude", I worked with him at Reher. He is an outstanding machinist and engine builder.
