Crate Engine

Hey guys, then engine on my 89 GT is getting a bit tired now so i'm thinking of splashing out on a new crate engine of around 350 - 390 hp, spending around $6K. There seem to be quite a few companies around selling these, but I dont want to be sold a heap of junk - was thinking about Ford Racing or the engine factory. Have any of you guys got any experience or suggestions ??

Many thanks

RE: Crate Engine

Why dont you rebuild the engine you got? With 6k you can get a lot of hp. Also your going to need better suspension to lay the power to the ground.

RE: Crate Engine

Thanks guys - think I might go with the Ford Racing XE3M engine with a GT40 inlet - should give plenty of power for everyday use. Still quite tempted on a stroker but the way gas prices are going these days Ive had second thoughts!
