For example, the legendary 426 Hemi of the muscle car era, while absent in stock vehicles for almost 40 years, has been available from Mopar as a crate engine since 1992.
All of the American "Big Three" - Chrysler, GM and Ford - sell crate engines of various specifications. A number of independent engine builders sell such prebuilt units also.
