If the place where you read about these Olds 'crate motors' is the place I'm thinking of, you would be wise to stay away. If you have thousands of dollars in sponser money and want to buy a nice engine, then have an engine built to your specs by an actual Olds engine builder with a good reputation.

No im talking about Percision Engines, my custom quote for what i want would be that price.. if you find the site that cost will be for there standard crate motors. im still looking for a quality motor, im just checking my options... who makes the best qualitiy crate motor for my car?(has to be a Oldsmobile Motor)

Is that Precision Engines in Houston? If so they have some bad reviews,

Yeah, Percision Engines. I wouldn't trust them.

MY definition of a 'crate motor' was always a long block ( or fully dressed motor ) that is already built to a certain spec and sitting there waiting to be purchased. So who makes a quality Olds crate motor? No one. Who custom builds Olds engines to your specs? There are a few. I would start with BTR Performance. Just avoid Rocket Racing.

So, it sounds like you don't really have the experience or the money to do it right. How bad is your engine really hurt? If there's no valve damage you may be able to just do a cam/lifter/pushrod/spring upgrade with the engine in the car and be back on the road for a few hundred bucks and a weekend's worth of work.

the motors beyond repair apparently now ... i talked to my dad last night and he said he thought he fixed everything by replaceing cam lifters and remaining rods... any way it supossedly spit every single thing through the oil pan....i have no idea what he did because im states away.

Now i realy need a motor..... if you guys recomend me to stay away from Percision..then i will ...Where can i get a cheap motor... i dont even care what it is at this point... its too depressing not haveing my car and one moment im told its fixed then it's in pieces all over the drive way

Just look on Craigslist or post in the Wanted section here.

I have never heard anything bad about Jasper Engines. You will have to call them to get a price. Here is the link to their web site. Edit: I just did a search for Jasper engine complaints and found several. Sorry.

Maybe you should ask your dad to stop "helping" you.
