There is something to the addage that "you get what you pay for" and that holds true for crate motors. Rousch and Keith Craft are among two of the more successful and better known builders - they are successful for a reason, and priced competitively for their products. When you see someone like one of the Kirkhams commending Keith Craft for his 331 stroker, that's a pretty good endorsement. I would go for a KC or a FOMOCO crate before I would go with someone offering amazing "discount" prices. Generally those prices reflect the actual parts that go into the motor. Really like my KC 331.
