The Great Crate Debate

Season 20, Episode 5

This time on GEARZ, Stacey addresses one of the biggest decisions you’ll face on a project: buy a crate engine or build your own? Well, if you want something in-the-box, a crate engine is great, but if you want out-of-the-box, you’ll need to build your own, and Stacey shows you what is involved in doing that. After that, we reveal what a crate transmission is, then drop the whole thing into the chassis of our ‘59 Apache pickup. It’s wild and wooly and only on GEARZ!
