Is This The New Definition of Crate Motor?

Hope they don't run it long without coolant. At least you can see and hear it run.

For that long it won't hurt anything!  That's a pretty well thought out and planned "crate."  Would be pretty cool for someone like me to build so I can understand how the gen 3s work before I put it in an e body!

Modern electronics are so cool. It's crazy how every system is there, facing all backasswards but it all still works. No cables or levers

If a guy was going to do an engine swap, what would all the parts shown (engine/tranny/electronics/etc..) in the video cost from a wrecked car?

You would not use it all and you would need to purchase some more items specific to the swap you would be doing.
Motor mounts, Exhaust, Radiator and electric fans, EFI fuel tank, etc.

It is for sale on EBay for US $6,749.00... Everything you see included.

I happened across them looking for a Gen3 Hemi for my 69 Fastback Father Son Project car.
I do not know them in any way but 99.9% positive feedback with 26,140 reviews
Was just looking for a 5.7 but I won't rule out a 6.1 or 6.4 for the right price.

Lot's of good information out there.
