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.

Chevrolet Performance SP350/357 Base Chevrolet Crate Engines
If it's affordable performance you're looking for to power your project vehicle, Chevrolet Performance's SP350/357 Base Chevrolet crate engine delivers! With 357 hp and a deep reserve of low-rpm torque, it quickly reminds you why Chevrolet's original 350 small block has been the industry benchmark for decades.

A roller camshaft optimizes driveability and airflow capability. It all adds up to a 24 hp gain over CPP's 350 HO crate engine—and a great, affordable alternative to rebuilding. This base crate engine package includes an assembled long block, including the oil pan. You finish it off your way, with the ignition system, induction system and additional accessories.
