What about a Ford Racing crate engine?
Yes! I always suggest to our customers looking for an engine to check the offerings from Ford Performance (was Ford Racing before, before that Ford Motorsport

) as these have proven to be good units with very little to complain about. I don't consider them to be "fully-prepared" race engines, but I sure have had many a customer treat them as such, and most have had amazingly good results with them!

So if they happen to offer something that 's right up your alley, I always explain that: "I can sell you their (a true) "crate-engine" for less than it would cost me (buying the parts at W.D. and owning the machine shop!

) to build it!

Unfortunately we make less profit from this sales approach, but then, I never claimed to be the smartest (or maybe the slickest

) salesman in the world!
And yes! Most have been available with a warranty. And it's a real warranty; not one of those like on the 'Flea-bay' examples, which I can assure you, again as witness to the tribulations of our customers in the past, that those warranties evaporate the moment you test them!
