Smeding Performance crate motors
Hey everyone. Anyone one have any feedback or personal experience with Smeding's crate motors. I'm kind of interested in the 383 shortblock that they are selling. Any info would be great. Thanks!

Re: Smeding Performance crate motors
It's a 383, and the thing is a work of art. Runs excellent too. It's been in his camaro for years now and he drives VERY "spirited" most of the time lol. Never had an issue with it. Heres a shot of it in the car...
Based on seeing his car and how it performs, I would highly recommend them!

Re: Smeding Performance crate motors
I live here in Sac where Smeding is and had the chance to walk their facility.. they do quality work, dont have an assembly line of people just mounting parts. Each motor is built with "your" build sheet in front of them to make sure u get what u ordered. The motors look great (as u can see in previous pics) and run strong and forever, like superman
Seriously tho.... u cant go wrong with Smeding
