FAQ's
What is a crate engine?
A crate engine is a fully assembled engine that’s shipped in a “crate,” ready to be dropped straight into your race car or project build. It comes pre-built from the manufacturer—meaning you don’t have to source or assemble parts yourself. Crate engines are popular among racers and performance enthusiasts because they save time, deliver reliable power, and eliminate the guesswork that comes with building an engine from scratch.
Is a crate engine good?
Absolutely. A crate engine is a smart investment for anyone who wants proven performance without the risk and hassle of a custom build. You’re getting a brand-new, dyno-tested engine that’s engineered for power, durability, and consistency—straight from the factory. Whether you’re chasing lap times or weekend thrills, a quality crate engine delivers consistent performance every time you hit the track, manufacturer-backed reliability with warranty coverage, and exceptional value compared to building a motor part by part.
