hey guys
does any one know the website for gen 3 crate engines. I have been told they are around $7000 to $8000 grand for a standard engine, computer, wiring harness and in some cases the gear box. and does any one no the horse power or Kw of a standard gen 3 engine. I know that they get good fuel economy if your sensible roughly 10.5 litres to 100 km
thanx

yeah but people that want performance will pay extra money for fuel. a carbied 350 with 350 gorse power would drink twice the fuel as a gen 3 or gen 4. Edited by user Monday, 5 September 2005 8:02:46 PM(UTC)

About 265Kw, Zac, or 355 HP if you prefer.
Don't worry about the crank...it'll rev to 6,300 rpm all day.
