Hi all,

Basically I'm looking at getting into drag racing, and I've been looking at buying a crate V8 engine, and all components and building it myself, the only trouble is is that I'm struggling to find a place which sells crate engines over here, does anyone have any suggestions?
Much appreciated

Real steel and Rodley motors. Got it, thanks smile I was also looking at PartsWorldPerformance, as they're quite close to me

Had a change of plans! Instead of buying a new engine etc... I'e purchased myself a 1971 Ford F100, absolute beauty, 390 FE Big Block, 265hp and a mountain of torque haha. My plan is to clean it up over winter and get some real power out of it from Rodley Motors, already had a chat with them about it, all for a budget of a few k, maybe up to 5k
