Default Best place to get a crate engine??
Got a customer wanting to take the turbo LS plunge. So who sell the most complete& affordable crate engine for a 87 G-body. Harness, Intake, injectors, flywheel, ect....

SDPC is probably your best bet for a crate engine.

Pace Performance is also a great place for LS crate engines, they offer EFI, carb and supercharged complete LS engines.

Got mine from a local chevy dealer. Free shipping that way, got it in less than a week.

Not exactly turn key, but I imagine not many turbo set ups will be.

Thanks for the reply's. I am going to add the turbo setup myself. Im looking for a good complete engine, so I dont need to hunt down PCM,Harness, Intake, inj, and so on. It can be a 5.3, 5.7, as long as i can get the compression near 9.0-1, and add a little better cam& spring's.

Mark Campbell at S&P is one of the most knowledgeable persons in the country regarding LS type engines,all of his products are typically high quality but they are also very high $$$$. Pace would probably be my first choice since they have the widest variety of complete engines, SDPC is mostly genuine GM crate engines.
