Any good built longblocks??

[Bunta]

I was thinking about picking up a dsm and buying the Slowboyracing stage II 2.0 Long Block and then having db performance install it.

But my question is.....is this motor good?, and is there any other websites or shops out there that does it for cheaper and better.

Please respond soon anyone!!!

I think the reason why you're not getting any responces is that:

1.) You're not doing anything yourself, besides paying for it.
2.) You don't even own a DSM right now.
3.) You already have a plan set.

Why not just have DB or LSE build and install your engine for you rather than paying to have one freighted in?

A stock DSM motor will handle more power than most people ever make. You might want to get the parts that actually make horsepower on the car first and get ready to replace the parts on the car that actually break with power. Throwing a built longblock into a DSM usually isn't needed right away, unless the old one is blown or you want to go straight to some 600+whp setup.

back to the drawing board

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.
