360 crate engines?

[Fitz73Chrgr]

In the interest of time, I think we may be opting to put a crate engine in our 73.  I, however, did not realize that the Mopar crate 360s had been discontinued, apparently for quite some time now.  What other options are out there for 360 crate engines?  I am not having much luck searching on my own. 

Thanks

I think there are still a few Shops offering versions of 360 based Crate deal, I'm sure somebody else will chime in with "who" and "where", but sorry, I personally don't have specifics.

I think the Mopar Crates were "OK", but alas, they didn't seem great in the "longevity" dept., if a guy decided to "Drive it like you were MAD at it". Lotsa "failures".

"You get what you pay for" it seems.

What was your attraction to the Mopar Crate Engine ?
Value for Money ?

Mopar is BROKE !
They are cutting ALOT of the "less profitable" stuff, much more Performance stuff to follow on the chopping block.
If nothing else, if Chrysler ain't making enough Money on the stuff( and 360 crates), how can smaller entity Shops at THAT pricing ?

GM performance Parts Div. was also just announced as "closing", will return "when profitability returns" as in the announcement.

Sad times for sure !

Yeah the main reason for looking into the Mopar crate engines was the price.  The car isn't going to be run too hard, so it doesn't necessarily need a heavily built engine.

If you're looking for just a "solid" type 360 engine for street driving, then I'm sure you can find a local Reputable Machine Shop in your area, capable of satisfying those parameters, probably even much better than the Mopar Crates.

Lots of resources on this Board for parts selection assistance or "suggestions", but, work with a good Local shop for Machining/Assembly etc. Get their opinions as well obviously.
