Crate Engine????

Just my 2¢. If I were to spend $18k for a new engine, I think I would look into some of the other alternatives besides putting back in a crate engine that has known faults and weaknesses. There are other engines that cost roughly the same that have many changes and updates that address those issues. Anyone who frequents this forum knows where they are from. I won't name them so it will not appear that I am promoting their products and services, but if I was going to spend the money on a new engine, it won't be at the dealer.
