What are Crate Engines?
Crate engines are replacement engines purchased new and complete, shipped in wooden crates. These engines can be standard or high performance engines and are often purchased when buyers do not want to rebuild existing engines, or when they want to upgrade to more powerful engines. Crate engines can be purchased in turnkey condition, ready to drop into the engine compartment and go. Conversely, one can opt to keep the existing fuel system, alternator, water pump or other accessories. In this case the engine is partially completed except for noted items. Crate engines come in a wide range of horsepower, up to 500hp and more.
