Looks like my 350 bit the dust so I need to get a new motor. I am on a budget here, and the car is already all set up to work with a small block so I don't know want to go the LS route.

I am really hoping for some advice on where I can find a "plug and play" Small Block crate engine. I have been looking online and it looks like the average price is about $6000K for a 383. I would really like to throw a 406 in their, but I haven't found a 406 crate engine anyway that isn't a custom build.


Suggestions for online companies to order crate engines?
Where can I order a 406 Crage Engine?


Thanks!

454 Cubic Inch Chevy Pump Gas Small Block
Price


It's just really cool to have a 454 SMALL block in your hotrod.
On our Superflow dyno this motor made 455 HP with an amazing 550 ft. lb. of torque. It idles great, runs on 92 pump gas, has good throttle response and driveability. This would be the ideal street rod small block. It features a Motown block, 4340 steel crank, H-beam rods, forged pistons, Canton pan, Sportsman II heads, Motown intake, and roller rockers.

This should be a great all around engine with 550 lb. ft. of torque
