If GM had done the right thing when they owned the crate buzz -- owned it -- today you would not have 30 other crate choices at the least --- BEAN counters killed it for GM in quality -- blocks are Mexico ( balsa wood ) cranks rods cam lifers ( Bangladesh) rockers pusrods springs ( Guadeloupe ) bolts covers ( The Congo ) HELLO HELLO -- GARBAGE ---at least the edelbrock stuff i have seen at the trade shows ( PRI ) were done real nice and good parts for the most part -- low on power compared to most but they last -- and most thats all they are looking for -- shure you will have a 9 to 13 percent loss ratio and thats probly what we are talking about -- but on my end seeing lots of resto rods and muscle cars with all kinds of combos i will see a much higher ratio of failier --than a one time guy put it in and drove it himself --sorry if i made it sound as if they were all junk BUT i have seen a lot of junk from crate motor program over 30 years -- jz
