So I picked up a 99 GST yesterday, Fully rebuilt engine, Forged everything, AEM whole 9 yards, other then running a little rich, it ran flawless the whole way home (200 miles or so) about 25 miles from my house, rolling up to a light (now since this is a new build with like 400 miles on it now I'm not hammering this thing AT ALL) press the clutch to down shift and BOOM she drops STONE dead, I coast to the side of the road, she won't fire and has a fast cranking, fast to the point where it doesnt sound like its catching just "Free spinning"

After a WAR to get her home because its lowered, I have it towed home, pull the plugs, they look a bit fouled so I clean em (at this time no where is open to get new ones) pistons look good, crank it with no plugs, feel big gusts of air so there is movement, pop em back in, try some starting fluid NO change.

Now I checked spark on all 4 BUT to be honest to ME it looked weak but I know NOTHING about these cars so IDK what is an acceptable spark, I know coming from Mustangs and Vettes that spark looked weak as all hell.

Timing belt look fine, gotta love those see through brackets LOL

Any ideas here? I'm LOST LOST LOL
 
MAP got it done!!!! short block ordered and it was IN STOCK!!! stage 2 at that so were gonna be pushing some serious power here
 
$3400 for a bare short block seems a bit steep. . Rods and pistons are $1300 at most, and that’s using I-beams. $2100 for machine work/bearings/assembly seems a little steep to me for an off the shelf bottom end.
Am I off base here?
 
Sorry if this is to old but, I just ordered 2.0 stage 2 block

wiseco pistons

I had to send them a virgin block. It cost 4,400$
