The term "crate" comes from the fact that the partially assembled engines are shipped in a "crate" as opposed to a disassembled engine being shipped in a bunch of "boxes".
: "Crate" is the slang for the factory HiPo engines that the manufactures offer now.

: : : use one of the Crate engine 302s, or short block. just pick the horsepower you're looking for. You can run either carb or EFI, just a matter of how much electonic controls you want to use. EFI requires the computer and the input devices including electic fuel pump. carb, you can use mechanic pump with points dist. if you want. Crate engine is pretty much ready to go.
