NEW MOTOR

Good Afternoon my fellow Ford enthusiasts. I am looking to replace the 360 engine I have in my 76 F-100 with a 390. I don't have the time to re-build it myself or trust me, i would. I have looked over several websites that offer "turnkey" crate engines, but i'm not sold. All I want is a factory built 390 that I can take a weekend and drop into my truck. Anybody have any good websites or shops that build turnkey motors that will ship it to me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can order crate engines from many parts stores but you'll find the quality of the work reflects where you're getting it from.
