I was wondering who know of someone in canada that can get a good 5.0 crate engine like the 345 hp GT-40 motor that ford sells for 5100 bucks. some one told me you can find placec that sell them for 3200 but i cant find a place. and is it worth getting a crate engine or to get someone to biled you one, i know i guy that does race motors and works for 50 bucks an hour.

I got my gt-40 crate motor around 3500 delivered....from a local delarship that is a FRPP distributor....but this crate motor is kinda of a hit and miss deal...When it comes to power numbers

are you talking canadian $ and if you are could you tell me where you got it, and how did that motor work out for ya. thanks

No U.S....and i've yet to find out how it runs....waiting on a a pressure plate from spec..

I'll build them for only $60 an hour american money.........

Where are you located tinman?

i'm also considering the 302 crate engine that ford makes.. the 340 hp.. any knowledge about crate engines would be great

ohya im thinking about taking that engine and doing some stuff then putting a kb blower on it

That motor has a good blower freindly compression"around 9.1"but it also has hyper pistions so low boost and a rich tune will be a MUST with the FRPP x head crate motor.

I would recommend the search feature, however, since I am responding, if you are referring to the 345hp FMS Crate Motor, then does this look familiar?

I paid $3000, plus tax in Long Island, NY. I swapped the GT-40x heads for AFR 165's. I added 1.6 rockers, then upwards to 1.72 rockers. The B-cam was retarded 4 degrees to give more on the top end. I added the Vortech S-trim with 7 lbs of boost. Now I have up to 9lbs of boost with the Anderson Powerpipe.

Dyno'ed the car at Mustang Magic and with a backyard tune I have 390 rwhp and 397 rwtq. These numbers were with the 1.6 rockers and without the Anderson Powerpipe. I would venture to say that I now have well over 400 for both hp and tq.

Mustang Magic will be performing a Dyno Chip and Tune in the near future. I am expecting 470-475 rwhp after all is said and done.

I cannot tell you how great and strong this motor runs. I have not had any problems with it from day one. You can read about my build on website at " http://www.cardomain.com/id/bmnlsc ".

This is the motor as she is now:
