Opinions on Shafiroff Crate Motors???

.....Hi Everyone, Does anyone have or know anyone has a Scott Shafiroff Crate Motor??? Just wondering what kind of experience you/they have had. My '32 isn't fast enough & this would probably do the 'trick' ;).... Thanks, Bill

I would build a 540/565.
More hp/torque than the small block.
For the difference in money buy the 540/565 bolt on a plate on N20 and go!!!

Then when you get used to that horsepower, put it in your wife's car and get one of these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

.....Eric & Pat, THANKS for the good advice. Yes after thinking about it I see that for the same money I'd get a lot more HP & TQ. It just seemed easier to put a small block in cuz it's already set up for one.....

.....LOL, good one Dave, not only is your comment/picture funny but it brings up a really good point. Which is, going up a 130-160 HP/TQ would only be enough for a short period of time. And for $14 g's I should get more HP/TQ than that.....

.....What I think I'll do is hook up nitrous on my current engine. That'll be the cheapest way to 'experience' more ;)

THANKS, Bill

Extremely probable. My glass 32 had tons of tunnel room including firewall recess for 350/TH350 Chevy. I had to enlarge the tunnel and I am using every mil of the distributor relief with the 502/TH400.

Big blocks rule though ..............
