Is the engine in your drag car or cruiser feeling like it's a little past its prime? Building an engine that is both potent and reliable takes a lot of time, effort, tools, and expertise. So for those hot rodders who don't have all that going for them—there is the crate motor.

A crate motor is a bundle of factory-built horsepower that arrives ready to bolt into your vehicle. In the last 10 years, the crate motor market has exploded. Stock and high-performance V-8 motors are available from Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler, and from many aftermarket companies as well. Most of these crate motors feature manufacturer's warranties, a multitude of options, and to-your-door delivery. And nobody said you couldn't order something with a few extra cubes.

Author John Baechtel is an expert on performance engines. His shop, Westech Performance, is the leading high-performance dyno testing facility in the country. In this book, he'll show you what crate motors are available from the major manufacturers, what accessories you'll need, how to prep and install a crate motor, and how to get it started and properly broken in.
