Any recommendations for a big block crate motor ? Don't need anything to radical, around 500 HP +/- and good torque. Street driven Duster,3:55's Auto. Already has a B motor in it, not sure if its a 383 or 400 Any suggested suppliers good or bad ? Might want to check out CME/Carolina Machine Engines, various forms of engine building from mild to wild, they have a "crate" engine program for stockish street motors, but they will build almost anything you want...however double the time quote they actually tell you, as they are understaffed/over booked on engine builds, they are quite reasonable in price and have a good rep for quality work

Thanks DC, I'll check with them tomorrow. They do have mixed reviews on delivery and quality issues which is a bit concerning Blueprint was doing them and we have had good luck with them. But they recently dropped the Big blocks probably due to core availability. Anyone else ??? Thanks

I have a 470 shortblock that I'm going to be selling in the near future. So something like that might work for you. If you're looking for a complete engine with a warranty then that might be tough to find. Ford and Chevy build crate engines with a warranty but Mopar doesn't.
