[QUOTE="850SNCobra, post: 16131569, member: 189441"] I've been looking at crate engines from Blue Print and they seemed good at first but I don't think that's a route I wanna take. Seeing as they use inferior heads and other parts, sounds like for that amount of money I could build something better(at least these are my thoughts after some slight resesarch). The main issue is that I have no experience with building engines at the moment other than building motorcycle engines and that experience is limited to just rebuilding an top end on my bike.. We are most likely going to have a shop install the engine if and when we do find one since we don't have a suitable place nor the tools at the moment.. We're(me and my dad) pretty much just looking for something to drop in that'll give a little bump in power and then I would like to work with my original 4.6 and see what I can get outta that power wise as I've read that the stock block isn't a bad platform to start with. What about Tri Star? any crate engines that you guys are familiar with that are perfect for dropping in to cruise and daily drive on? For anyone curious, here's the models that my dad sent to me: [URL="https://blueprintengines.com/products/306-ci-crate-engine-small-block-ford-dressed-longblock-fuel-injection-bp3060ctf"]BluePrint Engines 306CI Crate Engine | Small Block Ford Style | Dressed Longblock with Fuel Injection | Aluminum Heads | Roller Cam[/URL] [URL="https://blueprintengines.com/products/347-ci-stroker-crate-engine-small-block-ford-dressed-longblock-carburetor-bp3474ctc"]BluePrint Engines 347CI Stroker Crate Engine | Small Block Ford Style | Dressed Longblock with Carburetor | Aluminum Heads | Roller Cam[/URL] [/QUOTE]
