hey, I went to Ford today in Michigan today, and asked them how much the GT-40 crate engine was with the 345HP rating. after a call they said $3200 (american $). anyways, I am going to ask ford in Ontario tomorrow, and i bet it wont be much more. its something I have noticed when I price factory parts for my stang or intrepid at the dealers in USA and Canada. The Canada prices arent much more (my intrepid blinker relay was $32 Canada and $31 american)

so anywyas, back to the GT-40 crate engine. is this a tough built 302? how would a supercharger be on this engine (9.0:1 compression, E303 cam)? also, is this engine kind of like a radio shack computer....its good quality, but when you try to upgrade it you are screwed? are these hyper pistons or forged?

These questions might be stoopid, but I have no knowledge about the crate motors

Im pretty sure they're hyper pistons, and if you can buy in Canada you should save lotsa cash.</P>


They're businesses here in the US that operate by purchasing Canadian cars, converting the dash to US (kph to mph), then selling them for 2k less than a new car here. Basically after shipping and conversion they can save 4 - 5 k on the car, then resell it for 2k less than the other cars and make a killing. People also do that with everyday items too, like DVD players etc.</P>

go online and look for the number. i wouldnt use the hyperutectic i would only use the forged. if anymetal piece hits those pistons. boom instant explosion.
