Back in Aug. I had a major engine failure and now i'm planning on buying a crate motor. I was looking into doing a 383 FI, my goal is 650rwhp. Whats a good company to go with that has good qaulity and prices?

 

Off hand, I know both Victory Racing Engines and Speed Inc. both sell crate motors for decent prices. Both companies are also supporting members so you can find their urls in the supporting vendor index.
