0604Htp 12 Scoggin Dickey Crate Motor Z

For those of you who have yet to be arrested after a fun-filled night in Tijuana, "Jefe" means "boss" in Spanish, and that's a good name for this big-cube engine. It even includes MSD coil packs, Aeromotive fuel rails, and Katech valve covers. Scoggin-Dickey offers crate engines of its own (like this sucker) and is also a full GM Performance Parts dealer. So whatever type of GM engine you're looking for, be it straight out of the GM crate or built to the hilt by SDPC, these guys and gals have it covered. Says SDPC's Kris Jones, "we have a complete race shop with engine dyno ready to build your street thumper or your full race monster!"
