Hang tight: this article contains consumer advice. Of the Top Gear maths variety. Last year, we brought news of exciting developments in the crate engine business. An expressly American phenomenon, the idea of a crate engine is to order, quite literally, a fully-built engine (in a crate) to be delivered to your garage for fitting into whatever project car you happen to be working on. In 2017, the most exciting ones to hit the market were the Dodge Hellcat supercharged V8 good for 707bhp and 650lb ft, and a four-cylinder turbo making less than half that. However, being the Honda Civic Type R"s VTEC turbo four-cyl, it was no poor relation. We all pontificated over what would be the optimum choice for a project car: revvy, mega-boosted little engine, or mighty rumbling V8 with fuel consumption like a speedboat?
