Re: Any good built longblocks??

If you have the money for a built longblock then go for it. You might not see the HP returns until you really start pushing the car though. I have had other people swap in built setups into nearly stock cars when the there was a major problem with the old motor. If the car is a 1G, you just have to make sure you have so way to do some tuning. The stock ECU is programmed to support a 7.8:1 compression motor, and when you throw in 8.5:1 - 9.0:1 higher compression motor, it's easy to run into detonation problems.
