I highly recommend that you buy your crate engine from GM. Quality and cheap, are incompatible. You get what you pay for. With a GM crate engine, you will not be disappointed.

All depends on what engine you want to put in it and if you want a new crate engine or a used engine and if your going to let a mechanic do it or your going to do it yourself.
A crate engine is a brand new engine, shipped in a wooden crate. The engine comes ready to be installed in a car. Their are many different brands and models, the term "Crate Engine" is used to differ between a "new to my car" engine and "brand new" engine. The other option is to buy a used engine from somewhere such as a junk yard.

well, there are different ways. but one easy way it can overheat is by leaving the gas mileage gauge speedometer up to 360hp. also you can restart the engine by cleaning one of the cylinders and getting a new brush for your exhaust pipe.
For a complete rebuild? Forget about spare parts and buy a crate engine, comes complete and under $1000. Beware of used engines, they can be found for about $600 and that extra money for a new engine (a crate engine is as good as a brand new engine) is money well spent
It most certainly could. Most new cars use a single belt to run the "accessories" like the alternator, AC compressor, power steering and...the water pump. With no belt, no coolant is flowing through the engine and into the radiator and the car will quickly overheat.
The price of crate engines varies depending on brand and power. Typically, new crate engines can cost between $2000 to $15,000 dollars. One may wish to consider a used of refurbished engine if their budget is tight.
