crate engine :O
so i came to the conclusion that a crate engine will be most favorable for my situation. i could pay for a rebuild engine but then i will not have the performance and quality of a crate engine. the only downside of course is the price. $4000 for 340hp in a box vs $2600 for a normal 5.0 HO rebuilt with 225hp
jegs seems to have the cheapest ford crate that i can find

does anyone know of a cheaper site?

wow, your gettin a royal screwjob if your actually considering paying $2600 for a stock rebuild. you can build near 300whp with $2600

hmm, ship parts to me and i'll build it for a small fee, you could drive up here and get it, im about 4 hours north from you
*edit* hell i got a block/crank/rods here already..... just send the rebuild parts and money for machining - then come pick it up

I hope you don't plan on boosting that crate engine because it is just as stout as your stock engine from what I've been told.
Also Primetime is correct...rear wheel horsepower will be a lot less. Just buy a top end kit and a rebuild kit and you'll have more horse power, plus better parts when you upgrade to a better block if you ever decide to go that routeandchoose tothrow boostat it

this is my daily driver and i need it up and running asap. i dont want to mod the engine after i put it in, everything after that will be suspension, interior, wheels and tires. plus im a student so i want something reliable.
