Crate Engine Vendors
I have been looking at various vendors of crate engines. Basically, I like the Gm crate engines (385 hp), and ones made by the Engine Factory. I think an engine from the Engine factory may be a little better. They offer a "turn-key" package, that has everything but the battery. They also dyno test and check for leaks. Also, timing, jetting, and anything else is set so that no tuning is required. I feel that while the GM crate engines are good, the attention to detail may not be as good. If I buy from the Engine Factory, I'm going with their 390hp 350. Even comes with a video of the procedure.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this company? Has anyone bought an engine from there? Thank you for your comments!

Re: Crate Engine Vendors (shotgun_000)
i would guess that the GM engines are all new parts. i would compare the parts because the one difference i see is that the GM uses a forged crank where the other one uses a cast crank. pace price on the fast burn 385 is $4200 :chevy

shotgun_000,
I've been talking to Matt at Engine Factory about their 520 HP Stroker....I'm very close to sending the check, however I'm also looking at option to rebuild the engine I currently have....so I'm on the fence right now trying to decide which way to fall....I too would like some input from others who have purchased from this Vendor.... :seeya Cappy
