Default Interesting crate motor...

Scrap the Small-Block V-8 Swap and Sub in This Literal Tesla Crate Motor
Forget that LS swap and go for a Tesla drive unit that bolts up to a small-block V-8's mounts!

The term "crate engine" has long been used to describe engines you could buy (typically hotted-up or modified) and install in the car or project of your choosing. Why the name, though? Because the engines ship in crates. Often, the word "engine" is used interchangeably with the word "motor," a casual oversight of the distinction between an internal-combustion engine and a motor, which we typically use to describe an electric power source. Until now. Go ahead and call EV West's Revolt Systems Tesla electric powertrain swap what it is: A crate motor.
