I need help with a crate motor

The create engine is a teriffic thing to get. Just;
1. Have a shop check it out and make sure it is all there.
2. Call up the local dealer armed with some info on what Jegs will deliver it for to your door. From there, maybe you can have a little something to haggle with.
It also pays to get to know your local dealer. If there good fellas, they will cut you a deal on parts for the build up as well.
I used to get great deals from my old dealer (I moved away) and get good deals from my current dealer. There a big help.
