My engine went. Looking into saving up for this.

stay away. you know damn well those motors were slapped together with shit parts.

you can go a different route hella cheaper anyways.

thank you.
 
compared to buying one from the dealership it's a good price. you can find engines with only around 30,000 on them for less than $1000 and they are like brand new still. You can get them from vendors on this site completely built for around that price as well. I'd look into a built motor since you'd just be getting more for your money.
 
If I were you and wanna go the cheap route, I suggest the SlowBoyRacing for the Short Block $1499 HERE Thats about the cheapest short block around. I'd get that and a TabooSpeedShop Stage 0 Stock Head $300HERE there ya go $1800 and you got a motor

Or if your serious and wanna go all out check out FFWD CONNECTION
 
Then thats perfect for pretty much a stock rebuilt motor as i suggested slowboys $1500 short block and taboo's Stock head $300 so all in all $1800 and money for shipping and nuts/bolts/gaskets and such good luck

Or you could just buy the Shortblock, and then send your head off to a local machine shop. I know around here (St. Louis), most local machine shops do full OEM rebuilds for $200. Just a thought to save you $100 bucks. Good luck.

Just don't be mad when the engine blows up a few weeks later. It's happened to more than a few people. Seriously, you can get a fully built shortblock for $1500. Just take your head, get a full valve job for $200, and you got a nice setup for $1700. Shit, my 2.3L stroker shortblock was only $2k, and that was including everything. Since you are down in TX, Im' sure the FP guys would be a reasonable choice. Give them a call and see what they say.
 
There are numerous proven DSM vendors who can provide you with a quality motor for a good price.

Just remember this saying: “There is a cheap way and then there is an inxpensive way to do things”, I can’t think of more appropriate item, than engines/shortblocks, where that saying is more applicable...

This is a good start:

But there are more...

Does anybody have an idea of what the FFWD CONNECTION motors cost? I know it says to call, just wondering if anyone has.
