5.0's are a dime a dozen, if you can let the guy hear it run and include everything probabaly 250-300
hahahaha, not in western PA it was almost impossible to find a 5.0, it wasfor that rx7 i'm tryin to sell in my sig, we ended up getting a low mile 306 w/ t5 for 1000 bucks out of ohio.......shoulda used a sbc

NE Pa is just as hard. anyone around here that has a 5.0 is not selling it/is selling it for alot of money. I lucked out with my almost complete 85k '87 5.0 for 500. came with stock tubular headers, water pump, Edelbrock Performer dual plane intake and a dizzy...

What kind of a crate are you looking at getting? You'd end up spending a lot less money rebuilding your motor with a stroker kit, good h/c/i swap, ect. Hell, you would still come out cheaper by getting a reputable shop to build your current engine up. I just don't understand how people get so worked up over crate engines. It's just throwing money away! My advice would be to call a good performance shop and see what they can do for you before you buy a crate. Of course, this is just my $0.02.
