Dear Mike,

"Ford crate engines, like the Pantera, are 'built to a price' and
typically
won't put up with the same level of abuse as a professionally built
engine
of nominally similar characteristics, because there are corners cut
everywhere, such as cast vs. forged cranks, rods, mild valvetrain and
cam specs,
etc...."
FWIW: on the Speed Talk website Engine Forum, the professional
machinists and engine builders have commented that the factory crate
engines have been found to have, ahem, factory seconds used as parts.
It is perhaps not in all the engines, but it has happened often enough
that the pros have commented on it.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
