    Default Mopar crate short blocks still available?

    Id like to put building a new engine to put in my dak on the road map again but dont think I have time to deal with taking it to shops for machine work, assembly, etc. I also drive it daily and cant have it down for weeks, so I am considering starting with a short block.

    I remember reading good things about the mopar crates back in the day, but cant find any now.

    It will be a 360, 1.92 ported R/T heads, cam, M1, and maybe a blower down the line. Heads m1 and everything I already have, just looking for decent short block, if thats at all possible.

    Thank you

    There's always the option of buying a cheap core from a junk yard for a couple hundred and having it machined, assembled, etc. while you're still driving with your original engine.

    Honestly best short block is one you build. I would also second finding a good block from the junk yard and just building it
