Default Crate Motors

Hi,

I’m looking for a crate motor (650-850hp)....not sure where to start looking but I know there are many websites/companies that produce proven crate motors...

Could you please list companies or websites where I can look, or make recommendations on reputable brands...

Thanks!

For that power level, make sure you get quality.
Are you looking for small block, big block, normally aspirated, forced induction, EFI, intercooled ?
I would contact Nelson Racing Engines, www.nelsonracingengines.com, they build great stuff.
Other good recommendations I have seen on this board are:
Bill Mitchell - www.theengineshop.com
American Speed - www.amerspeed.com (small blocks only)
Scott Shafiroff - www.shafiroff.com

Ones that people said to avoid:
Speed-O-Motive
Some factory GM crate engines.
