Gburg, the overwhelming majority of engines offered out there will ALL require parts to complete for installation. It might be alternators, or starters, or flywheels, or a clutch, or......you get the point. Virtually no one offers a standard packaged engine, equipped with every part you need to just drop it in.

That is not to say Roush or Kraft or Coast will not provide a soup-to-nuts package; far from it. They will most certainly set you up with everything you need, and will provide quality stuff to boot. Just understand and be prepared to spend a bunch more than the prices you see in their ads.

Finally. With regard to all who just love to dump on Ford crate motors; yes, you do get what you pay for, but what you get is damn good stuff. Their stuff works, and works well, for a lot less money than the customs. Kindly do not drone on about how your custom makes 600 hp and the crates don't - we all know that. And maybe - just maybe - that's why the crates get bought in the first place.
