Yeah I was thinking if it’s a really well made motor and it comes fully built ready to drop in then it’s worth it. I got a call back from Lloyd Elliot, $2150 for heads and a cam + shipping and then I’d have to buy rockets and lifters still, not sure a good manufacturer or what they’re price is like but that will likely be close to $4k I’m guessing just in parts… plus if I do end up doing a build on my engine I’ll have to redo all the gaskets and seals I’m assuming which involves tearing down the motor, so at that point I guess it’s more price efficient to just buy a crate motor and drop it in since it’s fully built and timed already right?
never bought a crate motor so I’m curious, do I have to get a new ECM? I’d be running either 3.09 or 3.54 in the rear with a 2200-2600 stall and I’d have the trans internals upgraded to match the motor
