As some may know, my previous engine exploded and caught on fire. So since I have gotten a new and better paying job I am looking into short block and long block options. I've gone thru several of the supporting vendors on here looking through their offerings, but I keep finding myself gravitating towards built4g63.com. I'm looking to build around 400HP with a bastard 20G that I have, so I would like my internals and such to reflect that. I know stock internals can handle 400HP but I would rather start with a forged zero mile engine so that I can hopefully get a nice long life out of it. (100,000 miles or more would be nice!)
So what do you guys all suggest? Since my engine pitched two rods through the block, building an engine myself isn't really that much cheaper than buying a shortblock.
My budget is probably about 5 or 6 grand, and that has to include a performance flywheel and clutch and some other odds and ends.
