I bought my 390 crate engine from an engine builder I found on ebay. I spent some time talking with him to make sure I was comfortable with him, and then bought it. I paid $3200 SHIPPED to my door for a 400hp 390. The motor has been in the car for over 8k miles and has been flawless. It's got plenty of power and it will sit and idle in 95 degree weather all day long. The same engine builder also offers a 450hp 428 for $4500. I was never an FE guy till I got my Cobra, but I can't say one bad thing about my 390.
