  • I searched nationwide finding someone that would work WITH me on my 300 six cylinder build. I had given up and was going to rebuild mine myself. It’s been 35 years since last build so wasn’t excited about that. Found these guys by mistake. Super grateful I did! To say they work with you is an understatement.

    • Ron F.
  • Ryan came through when all else failed. Seriously, I attempted to get my engine picked up for service and almost a month into waiting, I reached out one more time and Ryan got right back to me. Within 2 days my engine was picked up. My faith in people was restored after my experience with Ryan. Here’s hoping the remaining experience goes as smooth. Thanks again Ryan

    • Roger K.
  • I needed to replace the long block on my 1980 Jeep CJ7. My son told me he had purchased a long block from S&J years ago, with no trouble with it to this day. I spoke to Dennis when I called....lucky for me ! He knows what he is doing...I don't. But he handled the calls with confidence in the product he was selling and gave me all info on warranties available to me. He never made me feel bad for asking so many questions. He was professional but not pushy, he was very pleasant, like talking to a friend. He told me how long S&J had been in business and their success rate. I trust all the info I was given and glad that my experience was good. It is never fun to be faced with replacing an engine on a vehicle but I am confident that it will go well. Thanks Dennis and S&J engine ! I'm glad that my son referred me and I will be happy to refer someone if they find themselves needed to replace an engine. LRF... Palestine,TX

  • Several months later, and the engine is still running great with no issues. I rarely leave reviews, but I felt compelled to do so here. I received an AMC 242 for my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport, and it's a phenomenal engine. Everything was great, from the gasket kit, to the break in oil, to the shipping container (half pallet, enclosed in cardboard.) Engine is running great with no issues. They were great as a company, and worked with me to suit my needs each time it was necessary. I don't plan on buying an engine again anytime soon, but I wouldn't buy one anywhere else."

    • Seth P.
    • Leah S.
  • "Waited on an engine from summit for a month and a half. When summit told me it would finally ship out they said they made a mistake and it would be another month. I contacted S&J motors.

  • Shopped everywhere for a reman. Finally decided on S and J Engines. They had all the right parts and manufacturers. New heads instead of refurbs. My machine shop was truely impressed with the engine. Said it was way better that what you get from O'Reillys. Also so impressed with the break in oil they are going to start using it in their shop. They were quick to deliver the engine as well. Cost a couple hundred more than most, but worth it So far, running like a champ. For what it is worth, I haven't had a problem yet. Very happy about the whole thing.

OUR BOAT ENGINES ARE THE BEST: We start with engine block itself. The market is awash in inferior engine blocks these days, and profit-over-quality engine remanufacturers place them front and center for the public. There is a reason why their boat engine warranties are scarce and rife with disqualifiers nullifying their obligations to back their product: substandard marine engines. We build our Crusader engines with more new – not recycled - components than any other long block crate engine manufacturer. S&J CRUSADER BOAT ENGINES ARE 100% PROVEN MARINE-GRADE

DID SOMETHING SAY BOATING? WE'RE IN! There really is a company that makes the finest boat crate engines on the planet for the public – and themselves. It’s S&J. Life in our parts means the value of a day on the lake or an early morning on the river is recognized and acted upon with regularity. Bragging rights to a solid-performing boat is something we know about and when the engine starts first crank, every time and settles into a rhythmic thrum awaiting the first goosing of the throttle, an S&J engine in the bay means good time ahead for captain and crew. BOATING PEOPLE MAKING BOATING ENGINES

our mission : satisfied customers

Heavy duty components assembled by master engine builders. More new parts, tighter tolerances and better backed boat engines. Engineered for tough marine environments, for years of boating safety, performance and fun. We are here for you today, tomorrow and for the years down the waterways. S&J’s legendary engines and warranties are unbeatable. MAKE IT YOURS TODAY.
