  • What are crate engines and are they any good for your next project car? We explain everything you need to know before you buy one. When “building” a car, you might have heard the term crate engines bandied about a lot. On paper, it sounds easy. Take the old engine out of your vehicle and put in the best crate engine money can buy. Of course, there are plenty of reasons why you would want to do that. You love your old car, but it’s ancient under the hood, and you can’t bear to kill it. You bought a classic car and want to restore-modify it into an asphalt-chewing, opponent-spitting beast. You are working on a project car and want to give it the most powerful heart there is, especially in times of silent but powerful EVs. While there may be many more reasons that make you choose a crate engine to be part of your automotive family, let’s first start by addressing the elephant under the hood of your car. What exactly is a crate engine, and why do you need it?

    My brother put a crate 318 in his Barracuda and it leaked oil badly! Turns out they neglected to put the bottom half of the rear seal in it!! Originally, I told him it would be easy to rebuild, but oh well!!!

    You should support your local engine builder. It is becoming a dying art.
