I am sure someone has an R3 sitting in the garage. I am not looking for a brand new engine, just what is designated as a crate engine. Used is fine.

Jon Myer has several used ones. Whether or not he would sell one is another matter. Paul Johnson
Michael,
As far as I know, the term "crate engine" means a new or fully rebuilt engine, ready to install.

New.
I understand a crate engine should be new but in the R series world it describes the way it came (meaning it was not installed at the factory), not the way it exists presently.

I don't think that you will find a NOS "crate engine". Get a block, surface off the serial # pad, spend $400 to $800 for correct character restamping dies and make your own R3
I agree with randee, New. jf
Yep. New it is. That was my understanding, but I put totally rebuilt in there, thinking perhaps a "factory rebuild", complete from oil pan to air cleaner might qualify.
Some engines are obviously not available new in any way, shape, or form. But you can buy rebuilds in a crate.
I'd say, that, lacking any other descriptor, a "crate" engine should be considered to be new production.
