Building a new engine (or restoring an older one) takes time, tools, and lots of tuning, so buying a crate engine can be a wise investment. You can also decide how much finishing and customizing you want to do:
A short block includes a balanced rotating assembly and little else.
A long block usually comes with cylinder heads, oil pan, camshaft, and valve covers, along with horsepower and torque ratings
A fully dressed engine includes everything except front drive accessories (like alternators and power steering pumps), and even a warranty!
These terms aren’t that precise, and can mean different things to different manufacturers, so make sure the crate engine you buy comes with everything you need and nothing you don’t. For more detailed information about selecting a crate motor for your project, check out this article on our official blog, which includes a helpful video.
One of the most popular engine swap projects today uses the versatile LS design. Summit also carries other popular crate engine designs, including the Chevy small block 350, the Ford 302 and Coyote, and, of course, the Hemi.
Since 1968, Summit Racing has been helping back yard tinkerers and professional builders find the right parts for their build. A crate engine can be a significant investment, so we only carry manufacturers we’d use for our own projects. Shop from brands including Chevrolet Performance, Ford Performance, Mopar Performance, BluePrint Engines, VEGE Remanufactured Engines, First Mate, ATK, and more.
