I have a hard time understanding why people on the east coast don't contact the site sponsor MRL and say, "Hey Mike, this is my budget, what can you do for me?" You think you're gonna get something better from CME? I've see Mike's stuff and I've seen crate engines.

thats awesome! doesn't seem like a bad price either. what made you decide on CME? I can't wait for the day that I am ready to order mine. Did you ever consider a 2 4 barrel hemi? I haven't decided which way I'm gunna go yet.....6 pack or hemi

Your bird is SWEET!!! looking forward to seeing it boosted Joe - - - Updated - - - This is the 5.7 I am building for Krissy's(wife) 67 barracuda. Not a B or E but an A My opinion its mopar or no car. forged rotating assembly ported 6.1 heads and manifold bigger 6.1 cam. Mike if this wasn't...

Well, I ended up going to a local shop and have my existing 440 rebuilt and am using my existing 6 barrel set up, he matched the cme estimate but with a roller cam kit and roller rockers. I called MRL twice with no answer and was concerned about someone answering the phone if I had a problem.

Any updates from you guys since yo got your crate engines from CME?

I can second CME. That is where my crate is from. If you have any specific questions about dealing with them you're welcome to pm me

Wow, that dash lighting looks like something out of the Tron movie. Very cool! I've been thinking about a CME motor myself. In fact I believe that same one you have. If you don't mind me asking, what was the total price on that baby?, shipping and all.

...am not that trusting. I should also state that most builders were more than welcoming for my presents. To shorten this story up I chose CME (Carolina Machine Engines) for several reasons. 1) they were the only builder to offer a warrantee, not promises but a written warrantee. 2)...

Myself and a few other people on here have purchased crate motors from CME I haven't taken delivery of mine yet but there are some threads about them if you do a search

My engine builder (CME) recommended Brad Penn, Comp Cams and especially "classic motor oil" http://www.classiccarmotoroil.com/

...all snug and just picked up my Pulley's from the powder coaters! Looks like the integrated shroud on my rad is going to be a tight fit but hopefully will work out ok! Also just trying to get an answer from CME for what they would set total advance at before initial startup! Getting Close!

Assume this is for your new CME crate engine? When do you take delivery... eager to hear your first impressions!

Is the CME version a Magnum? IIRC they list the Magnums as "high torque" rebuilds, and don't specify any numbers. That leads me to believe their SBM motors are LA.

Agreed. Price compare the swap(s) you are contemplating and the cost to rebuild what you have before making a commitment. Include ALL parts! I think you will find rebuilding what you have will be the least expensive - least modifications way to go. Had my 727 completely rebuilt for about...

Myself and a couple other guys on here have gone with Carolina Machine Engines (CME) They're currently building my 522ci 525hp/625torq Stroker which seems fairly comparible to the killer crate for about 4 grand less - - - Updated - - - Also from what I have read/heard stay far away from...

...bad news about the 440 in my 74 RR, and a month of research choosing between a crate engine and a custom built one I ordered my crate engine from CME this morning, thanks to another 8" of snow and some free time,lol. I ordered the 522cu/525hp with upgraded roller cam, flywheel and 6 pack...

Big Block Strokers Thanks a lot. Would be interested in your thoughts after engine goes in your vehicle and you drive it. Mark

Now that you mentioned balancing I ask CME if they purchase pre balanced stroker assemblies? They said that they prefer to balance the rotating assemblies themselves. Whether balancing the assemblies does not take that much more time than to verify a prebalanced unit or it is a revenue thing...

...3. The engine timing is still not right, or I'm fighting some other issue... I'm debating on tearing down the engine or just waiting it out until my bonus check comes through in March and buying a crate engine from someone like CME or buying a 440 block and having a local shop do the machine...

Just got back from the shop and my first look after taking delivery of my new engine from CME Really happy with how CME packaged all the components in their original packaging separately for shipping (Quickfuel Carb, MSD Ignition, Plug wires, etc..) I was on the fence about the motor being...
