Do you guys know anything about these? Sounds like a good deal.

You can get more for less, that is a stock motor if I am not mistaken. You can get built short blocks for around that price or less from various DSM vendors.

 

[ianv3]

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.

 

[Kinetik_tsi]

I WOULD like a built engine, and if you say that I can get one for cheaper I think it's the obvious choice. What places do you guys suggest?

 

[Slappster]

FP, Magnus or ffwdconnection.

 

[ianv3]

stock will probably take whatever you throw at it.

 

[flinguist]

Sounds pretty good to me. It's got a 3 year warranty, and it's a long block for that price. I'd like to know what they did to address crankwalk on the 7 bolt motors though.

 

[1fast97gsx]

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.

 

[ianv3]

im sure they'll honor that 3 year warranty. :laugh:

 

[Kinetik_tsi]

Hook me up with some links, I really need this.

 

[Mike1992]

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

 

[Kinetik_tsi]

Cool. ffwdconnection doesn't show prices.

 

[Mike1992]

No but theyre motors LOOK BADASS, how much ya got to spend?

 

[Kinetik_tsi]

"Plan to save" $2500

 

[Mike1992]

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.

 

[Kinetik_tsi]

Alright, looks like I got choices to make. Thanks.

WHY?

 

[GRNDSM]

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...

Did anyone say JDM?

 

[GRNDSM]

>Did anyone say JDM?

You mean JDM or just plane old used motors? Ether way, I am giving up on saying that .

People are just he11-bent on building “race motors” for their sub 400hp cars, when a stock FACTORY short block can take 500+ wheel HP.

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