Holden Crate Engines

What is a Holden Crate Engine?

A Holden crate engine is a complete engine assembly shipped in a crate, typically including the block, rotating assembly, cylinder heads, and valvetrain components. Designed for drop-in installation, crate engines are ideal for performance rebuilds, engine swaps, or refreshing older Holden models like the VE Commodore, Monaro, or Statesman.

Crate engines remove the hassle of sourcing individual components and assembling them. Whether you're chasing a factory-spec rebuild or a street-ready upgrade, crate engines provide dependable performance right out of the box — no tuning required an no back-and-forth at the workshop.
