If you cringe at the thought your engine could be the same as every other hot rod, muscle car and custom with a mass-produced crate motor, then J. Bittle American’s Anti-Crate™ Engine program can keep your vehicle unique.
Anti-Crate™ Engines are for those who don't want to have a cookie-cutter powerplant in their special vehicle. J. Bittle American can blueprint, customize, tune and install a unique engine for your Muscle Car, Custom, Hot-Rod, Restoration or Race Car!
J. Bittle American Anti-Crate™ Engines can be assembled for a variety of domestic vehicles, and are hand-built, balanced, and blueprinted to provide improved power and greater longevity for street, high-performance, restoration and racing applications. In addition, J.
