Crate Engine Builders

I have a 1970 Nova.  I am looking to put a crate motor in it.  Everything has been done to the nova to get it ready for some serious horsepower. Moser 12 bolt with .373 gears, level 3 700R4 transmission, Globel West A Arms, Hotchkis susp., etc, etc. etc... So now its time to put some muscle in this under powered (307) muscle car. I have looked at Smeading, T&L Engines, The Engine Factory, and a few others. I want to stay with the small block, but want atleast 400+ HP.  I am leaning towards The Engine Factory. Not the cheapest but wow what a motor (383 with 500HP). If any one has delt with them or ??? please let me know thanks!!  

well, i see that there were a lot of views of this but no INFO..Hmmmmmm Anywsy i put the down on the 383 strocker with 500 HP from Engine Factory.com... They have been very helpful and seem to know what they are talking about.  Check out their web site @ www.enginefactory.com. Keep the hobby goin!! Later.............  

i would check blueprint engine they are avalible from jegs or summit and im sure they have them on there web site   http://www.blueprintengines.com/ good luck on the nova  

i see turn key crate on that site 500 hp for $ 9,287.00 , very clean very nice for a show car, but i think u could build your own with equal power for alot cheaper. and yea i would look into blueprint they have a 383 for like 3 grand that has 405 hp and 440 torque , with the rest of the cheese you will be saving u can do nos boost or buy afr heads or tricks and u got urself one mad stroker.  

yea you cant beat the blueprint 383 for like 4 grand with 405 HP and 440 TQ  

thanks for the info.  I'll be checking on that.
