What crate engines is everyone using??

I build my own, so I'm not much help on the crate engine thing. If you have time, and a little know how you could save thousands of dollars doing it yourself. Do some research, buy an engine building book...its really not too hard. You will probably have to buy a few specialty tools, but you will still come out FAR ahead monetarily....and it just feels good to be able to say, yup, I built that motor :D.

Same here. There is nothing like the experience and satisfaction of building your own motor. The engine I have now, I had a race engine shop do the short block for me and there were issues I had to deal with. I get my brain and hands very involved with every motor I build. I will say however that I bought some parts from MRL and had very good service and the parts were good and worked exactly like he claimed. I see he builds crate engines. His prices look high but high cost is a bargain in the long run when it's done right. I would feel comfortable buying an engine from him.
