Need more information for hybrid engine build parts. *SEARCHED*

[Injected]

I have been researching my 6 bolt 2.4L build for a while now and I reached a point where I need to make sure that I will have everything I will need for a complete build. I have compiled an extensive spreadsheet of parts and after a bit of research I may have come to the conclusion that buying a longblock from SBR ($6000) would be very close to the same price as accumulating the parts and building it myself. I actually wanted to do all of the work myself (except for the complex machining of the head), but I need to make sure that I am not forgetting anything in my parts buildup as well as a few other compatibility questions. The real problem arises from the fact that I don’t have a 6 bolt to pull parts from for the 4G64 build so I must accumulate almost everything to build a standalone engine. Every thread that describes the build as merely “swapping everything over and using a 4G64 DOHC timing belt and gears.” That isn’t enough information for me.

My first question is the differences in the oil pump, front case, and other engine components. Will I need a new front case, rear main seal, rear main seal plate, and oil pump? I know I am supposed to use the 6 bolt oil pickup, timing belt tensioner, timing belt cover, oil filter housing, oil dipstick and tube and the 7 bolt oil pan. Using the 1G head and cam sensor should allow the installation to be exactly like a normal 6 bolt swap. Any help would be appreciated and please correct any misconceptions or misinformation in this post.

Please do not pay 6 grand for a motor. It isn't that hard to find parts. You are wanting a 2.4 6 bolt correct. I have a couple of those blocks and cranks ready to be put together. The 4g63 head bolts right on. The rods are the same as the 1g big rods, or you can use eagle rods. You use that regular 6 bolt oil pump. I can build you the same engine that you were talking about paying 6 grand for half that price or less. It will be just as good and have a warranty. If you are interested send me an e-mail @ [email protected] and i will make you a very good deal. Let me know which components you are wanting to use in this motor, and i will give you an exact quote on what i would cost. Have a good one man.

I sent you an email with a basic list for the short block assembly and a little more information about the SBR price.

Thanks again.

What are they charging 3 grand for labor on that thing. I cam do everything the same for 3 thousand and still make a profit off of it.

How can you get prices that low?

Seems kind of sketchy to me. The cost of the parts alone would be near or over $3000. If you could do it for that cheap then you could put every dsm engine builder out of business easily. So can you explain how you can do it for such a low price.
