Thanks for all the feedback! I think we'll go with a crate. I checked around town with a few shops and they all said the same thing.. crate is a better buy for our application. I do have another question though... the car was originally fitted with a 6 cyl. I dont have motor mounts and intend to put in the 400. Can I buy 400 motor mounts and bolt to the holes already in the subframe or do I need to modify? Were the 6 cyl mount holes the same for a 400 engine? Any suggestions are greatly apprecited. I searched the FAQ and didnt see an answer for this question. Thanks!
