426 Crate Hemi

Post by bogdan999 »

Question... Is buying a 426 Crate motor (part# P5249667AB http://www.mopar.com/muscle/whatshot1005.htm ) from my local dealer a worthwhile investment... Is the cost of the engine likely to increase in the future? I heard that DC may discontinue production...I have a project in mind for the future possibly. I am wondering if I should jump now while they are still available (are they?)

You will need to tear it down measure everything, correct the known problems then reassemble it. I sold one 2 years ago for 10,000 cash.
