Has anyone used T&L Engines or the Engine Factory for a crate motor? I am starting to look for a 375-400hp 351W for my FFR. Any other recommendations? Thanks, Rick ------------------

Crate motors seem way overpriced to me.If you already have a 351 block and some aftermarket heads pretty much any good shop should be able to build if for you.------------------

I have an EngineFactory crate MotorMount, hook up gas, radiator, ground wire, alternator wire, exhaust, throttle linkage, gas line and start. Truely a turn key Motor. Broke in at the Factory with video. Leveled deck , honed , blue printed...the works. Yes you pay more for it...Its done...completely...show perfect. No crossing fingures and tinkering. Timing done...Carb adjust...waranty. You pay for some-one elses time (done right). ------------------

Yup, that was my thread about T&L.They were great about the repairs, they paid to ship it back and forth and never charged me a dime. Got a video of it on the dyno, got a dyno sheet. Was a hook it up and start it up with no problems, totally broken in. Runs SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice, and is absolutely smoking (literally and figuratively). Would definitely deal with them again.
