Re: Wtb running 4G63t
Whats wrong with buschur? Map is EXTEMELY expensive. I know they have high quality parts, but Money isn't something i've got tons of. Basically Im looking to get a running motor in my car, and I have around $2500, I dont understand how hard that is!

I also wounding just but a "stage" shortblock from any vender simply cause if you do the leg work and a little searching finding a good core, rods/pistons used. Then have someone assemble you could have a stout block for around 1k. Just my .02

I've always liked this route.
Gosh charged me around $780 to do a complete shortblock last fall. This included all cleaning, machining, balancing and complete assembly to my specs and tolerances.
With the seemingly abundance of 'junk' engines out there, and the availability of inexpensive after-market pistons and rods, I cannot see forking out a grand for a running 6-bolt (or whatever they are selling for now), when you can have a solid product without the guesswork.

Re: Wtb running 4G63t
Thank you celica, I pm'd him, just waiting for a reply now. But I have a bad shortblock with rod knock. If I can rebuild it for less then the price of a shortblock then that would be a way better option. What do you guys suggest for a build that will handle 400 max? Im thinking 2g piston 1g rod combo if Im not looking for something too special or expensive.

I would love not to have to pay over a grand for a motor alone. I just have to find a stock one that is good and I will be more than happy at this point
