for those that say there are no Pontiac "crate" engines

[pierced mikey]

and use that as an excuse for a Chevy engine http://www.lenwilliamsautomachine.com/ Besides the builders that post here, this guy offers a crate 455 w/425h.p. for less than 4 grand.

I looked at that site and you can get one for $2100 including $500 core charge. That is unheard of!

I'd be leary... I've seen these too good to be true deals before... and they are.
You might end up w/ a 350 block, a 6X head on one side and a 17 head on the other side. Hey, they're all the same, right?
The other option is that they're all out of stock, so just send in your core and it'll be rebuilt.

so there are no NEW crate engines! There have been Jasper engines for years. Still tempting to buy a NEW ZZ383 or LS-2 or 502HO if that's what you are wanting.
