turn key engines
does anyone know of anybody who sells turnkey complete engines that are already dressed out with chrome parts and accessories? i am trying to compare building one versus just buying one complete. i have not seen any that were already chromed out and complete. I would take a 350, or maybe even some sort of corvette motor. thanks in advance!

Re: turn key engines
Street & Performance in Arkansas offers 'fully dressed' engines as does Edelbrock. Be prepared for sticker shock though.....

Jasper engines, with a 2 year warranty, don't know the price.

Re: turn key engines
appreciate the feedback guys, most of the people recommended i have called. My problem is i am looking for alot of chrome and not polished parts and alot of people who sell these engines sell polished parts and that is what they call their show engines. they do look good but i prefer chrome, and i am also looking for something with a nice serpentine system. i think overall its going to be cheaper for me to probably build the engine myself and buy the chrome pieces separately.

Re: turn key engines
Is this going to be a trailer queen or a cruiser? The problem with chrome is that it will hold in the heat and cause you to run really high temps. also it will start to blue around the high heat areas like the headers.
