create motor. good source?

[daves bronco]

just wondering if anybody knows of a good source for create engines. I am looking for a 351. I know there is a lot out there, just looking to see if any body has had good luck. also any tips would be helpful I never ordered a create motor before.
thanks Dave

I know a couple of folks who have this in current builds-no seat of the pants report but you could not beat this price per parts in the engine-especially with the FAST efi on it and warranty

Have never bought a create (crate) motor but if I were shopping for one I would probably buy one from a solid, reputable and nationally known builder which carried the best warranty. Ford Motorsports, Summit, Jegs, Jasper to name a few.

I used to get my stuff built locally but all the places i dealt with are long gone.. i was going to post a poll on the forum later this year and let everyone vote on it

I was absolutely ready to pull the trigger on a crate motor (had two in mind) and my neighbor told me I needed to talk to "his engine guy"--what did I have to loose.

So I spent a couple hours talking to him (even took print-outs of my crate motor specs with pricing) and after all his questions and time, I knew there was no way I could buy a crate motor built by someone I never talked to with price as a priority if his price was even close.

His price came back REALLY close to the crate motors when you consider the extras he was providing and that I'd have to buy with the crate motors. Now he's "my engine guy" and he's ready to start it when I get my headers. It will be broke-in when I get it as he runs it on the run stand to break it in. Oh, and he only uses Brad Penn engine oil. He swears by it after the oils were changed and he replaced a ton of flat tapped cams.

Mine is a flat tappet cam 351W turned into a 408W with a Edlebrock Performer RPM top end kit. 415 hp and 430-450 torque @ 9.5 CR.

I'd recommend finding a guy that builds them locally. I have truly enjoyed stopping-in during the build and talking to him as well as taking pics of the progress.

I bought a 331 stroker from blueprint motors. I have been very happy with it. I called them on a couple of occasions when installing it and they were always helpful. The price was good also

Craig, that motor looks sweet! hope i get to see it up close this on top of test hill. I agree that having someone you trust is much better than ordering on the web... wish i knew someone local...

My 347 stroker from Blueprint Engines has been AWESOME so far...1100 miles. They have been great to deal with as well.

One other thing about the blueprint motor I got. I bought it about 8 months before installing it as I was mocking everything up. When I did install it the instructions said to call them. I did and that is the day my warranty started. I thought that was very good of them to do. They also have a guy who has a bronco there and when I ordered mine I told him what it was for and he cammed the motor for me to get torque and hp where I wanted it.

For those of you running the Blueprint engines, what kind of idle quality do they have? I was looking on the cam specs last night and a little unsure of how "lumpy" they might be.

I'm researching new engine ideas as my 5.0 is getting a little long in the tooth although it still runs fine. I'd like to find something that still has a nice idle to it and is cammed more for low end torque.

I was just at my dealerships performance parts area. I was drooling over the Ford performance 347 they have on the floor. 7000k

When I had my 408W built I was also looking at crate engines (although this was 11 years ago) it was significantly cheaper to buy the main components, buy a used, unbored 351W on craigslist, and have a local reputable engine shop put it together and purchase all the small components.

I saved probably around $1500 vs. buying a crate engine of similar build.

Strong and smooth but juuuust lumpy enough.

TZ, you've heard my 347. It's set up for 'lower' end torque. If you want the spec sheet I can send it to you. 425hp at the ground.

Holy cow that's got to be close to 500 hp at the motor. I'd like to see your spec sheet if possible.
