Josh is correct in his statement.

Crate engines are not the way to go. My first one had less than 10k on it when it started to consume oil in a very bad way. If I were you, I would talk to him about building you a similar engine with better internals. For the money spent on a crate engine, you could have the same thing built for half the cost.

And with regard to warranty...it took me damn near 1.5 years just to get my second engine. And it was a parts only warranty which blew, and I'm glad scoggin-dickey could help me out with it (in reality they shouldnt have but they f-ed up too). 1 year warranty on the first one, 90 day on the second one.

If you do get setup with a decent engine builder (JS Performance for one is great to work with), I might be able to help you out as far as a chip goes. My car just spanked emissions.
