Buy direct from the remanufacturer · Since 1961
Fraser Engines & Transmissions sells remanufactured engines for Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Dodge, RAM, Jeep, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai and Subaru cars, trucks, SUVs and vans — gas and diesel, from 1.0L four-cylinders to 8.1L V8s. Every engine is torn down to the bare block, CNC-machined, rebuilt with new pistons, rings, bearings, timing components, gaskets and seals, matched to your 17-digit VIN and backed by a parts-and-labor warranty up to 5 years / unlimited miles.
Definition
A remanufactured engine — a “reman” engine — is an engine that has been completely disassembled, inspected, cleaned, machined and rebuilt with new or reconditioned components to meet original manufacturing specifications or better. Unlike a used engine, it has zero miles since remanufacture; unlike a rebuilt engine, it was restored through a standardized factory process with consistent quality control.
Zero-Mile RemanufacturedWhy buy remanufactured
Disassembled, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt with new or reconditioned parts — not a gamble on a donor engine’s history.
Extensive coverage comparable to a new engine — up to 5 years / unlimited miles with No-Fault options at Fraser.
A fraction of the cost of a new crate engine or replacing the vehicle.
Reuses the original castings and recycles materials instead of casting new iron and aluminum.
Machined to factory specifications — or tighter — with the factory’s TSB fixes engineered in.
Standard, Fraser Advantage™, Fully Loaded, DOD / AFM / MDS-delete and high-performance builds.
Thousands in stock across 8 makes and 100+ engine families — including engines OEMs no longer supply.
Every Fraser engine is matched to your 17-digit VIN before it ships.
Know the difference
A crate engine is brand-new and never used — higher-performance options exist, but at far greater expense and often unavailable for vehicles more than a few years old. A rebuilt engine varies in scope with the individual mechanic’s discretion and skill. A remanufactured engine goes through a comprehensive, factory-standardized process with consistent quality control.
| Feature | Used Engine | Rebuilt Engine | New Crate Engine | Fraser Remanufactured |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mileage | Donor mileage — unknown | Original, minus replaced parts | Zero | Zero since remanufacture |
| Process | Pulled and shipped | Varies by mechanic | OEM assembly line | Standardized 14-step factory process |
| Wear components | Original | Only what failed | New | New pistons, rings, bearings, timing, gaskets, seals |
| Design weak points | Still there | Still there | Still there | Corrected with TSB updates (Fraser Advantage™) |
| Availability | Whatever’s in the yard | Your engine only | Discontinued for most older vehicles | 100+ engine families in stock |
| Cost | Low | Low–medium | Highest | Medium — best value per warranty year |
| Warranty | 30–90 days parts | Short, often parts only | 12–36 months | 3–5 yr / unlimited miles parts & labor + No-Fault |

Inside the Fraser plant
Fraser is committed to delivering engines of exceptional quality and performance. Our rigorous, detailed process ensures every engine meets our high standards and exceeds your expectations.
A thorough visual inspection of each block for casting defects, meticulous disassembly with every part inspected for damage and the cause of failure identified. Oil and water passage plugs are removed to guarantee optimal results during thermal cleaning. Only premium castings are selected — never repaired castings or sleeved blocks on high-performance engines.
Our thermal cleaning system distributes heat evenly through the chamber, avoiding overheating or warping. Components are heated in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere that decomposes combustible hydrocarbons and leaves parts dry. The Ace RKE 230 oven is used exclusively for cast-iron blocks.
Stainless-steel shot removes surface contamination like rust for a smoother finish — vital for detecting surface and subsurface defects — while the peening process imparts compression strength to the metal.
Magnetic particle inspection detects cracks and imperfections in ferrous engine parts, ensuring the highest quality for our cast-iron blocks.
Aluminum blocks first go through the AXE SW20 OS spray cleaning system, whose multi-integrated nozzles remove all foreign material — crucial for a thorough inspection.
Ultrasonic cleaning — the benchmark in cleanliness — reaches inaccessible areas and breaks the bonds holding small particles to surfaces before pressure testing.
The Delta pressure tester double-checks for pinholes after magnafluxing and dye testing, ensuring the integrity of every casting used in our products.
After a complete visual inspection we repair minor casting defects, remove broken bolts, tap threads and perform gasket surface repairs to minimize stock removal.
The RMC CNC V40 enclosed machining center measures and levels blocks and measures deck heights and cylinder bore sizes, eliminating operator error. It determines the Ra finish based on block type and gasket, using CBN cutters and checking surface finish with the Mitutoyo SJ-301.
The Sunnen LBB-1600 hone, accurate to within .0001″, reconditions rods and fits pins so honed bores are equal to or better than new. High-performance engines get ARP high-strength bolts and nuts first.
Rottler’s newest cylinder honing machine finishes cylinders within .0001″ roundness and straightness, continuously analyzing and correcting the bore to hold the critical oil clearances modern engine designs demand.
After precise machining, every block undergoes a second high-pressure wash cycle for absolute cleanliness before final assembly.
All parts are ultrasonically cleaned prior to assembly, reaching every surface and internal area to meet the most stringent cleanliness standards.
Each assembler conducts a thorough visual inspection and measures parts for proper size. Blocks are fitted with new cam bearings, oil restrictors, relief valves and new water and oil plugs; heads are installed with new bolts and gaskets and each cylinder’s seal integrity is checked. A final inspection by our assembly manager signs off every engine.
The gold standard in engine remanufacturing
Dual-function boring and resurfacing with unrivaled accuracy — cylinders bored and honed to exact dimensions, blocks and heads resurfaced to precise specifications for a perfect head-gasket seal on every engine type.
Complete crank grinding in a single chucking — the fully automated precision typically exclusive to OEM plants — delivering stabilized dimensional accuracy, superior surface quality and tighter tolerances.
Operational since 2016, our flame spray machine applies cylinder-bore coatings with unmatched precision and uniformity, surpassing industry benchmarks for current-model-year engines and extending engine life.
Frequently asked questions
Most Fraser remanufactured gas engines range from about $2,500 to $7,500 depending on engine family, build level and options; diesel and high-performance engines are higher. Every catalog page lists current pricing by option, and a VIN-verified quote confirms the exact number with shipping and core terms.
Yes, for most owners. A used engine carries its donor’s mileage, wear and unknown history with a short parts-only warranty. A remanufactured engine is zero-mile, rebuilt with new wear components, machined to spec and backed by a multi-year parts-and-labor warranty.
Rebuilt engines vary in scope depending on the individual mechanic’s discretion and skill — often only the failed part is replaced. Remanufactured engines go through a comprehensive, factory-standardized process with consistent quality control and all wear components replaced.
A crate engine is brand-new and never used; a remanufactured engine is a previously-used engine restored to original specifications or better. Crate engines can offer higher-performance options but cost far more and are discontinued for most vehicles more than a few years old.
With proper installation, break-in and maintenance, as long as a new engine — typically well over 100,000 miles. Fraser backs it with up to a 5-Year / Unlimited-Mile warranty plus No-Fault coverage.
Yes — Toyota / Lexus, Honda / Acura, Nissan / Infiniti, Kia / Hyundai and Subaru, in addition to Chrysler / Dodge / Jeep / RAM, Ford / Lincoln / Mercury and GM (Chevy / GMC / Cadillac / Buick), plus diesel and high-performance engines.
In-stock units typically deliver in 2–3 business days to commercial addresses in the continental U.S. Built-to-order and specialty builds are quoted with an honest lead time.
Most Fraser engines ship with no upfront core charge. Your old engine is picked up free from a commercial address after installation; a refundable deposit applies only if the core isn’t returned.
Yes — financing options up to $10,000 are available. Ask your specialist or see the financing page.
