Crate engine- Good price?
I was just wondering if you guys thought that $2156 for a complete (not long block) NEW 351 (1991) engine to replace my 4.9 is a good price. That's through my dealership, with a 36 month, 75,000 mile warranty. I like the complete engine thing, no having to hunt down parts I don't already have. Thanks in advance.

I have gotten 2 junk yard engines, a 5.7L and also 1.8L
both had problems, albeit fairly minor which did not prevent them from running good.
If I had to do it over again, I would either find a very low mileage engine or ideally go with new "crate engine".
