WTF Okay i'll finally have all my money together by the end of this month. I have a pretty strong running engine 114,000 miles and im 100% sure im dropping a new built 7 bolt engine in and not keeping the current one before I start the more advanced modding:). I've posted about this before and have done some research. DSM Graveyard looked so legit but then allllll the negative feedback I heard, so Graveyards staying in the graveyard I guess. Strictly Import Motorsports looks reputable and legit but not enough feedback. Im looking to spend under 5k on a built engine, ill send my core in and the engine has to support around 500Hp, does anyone have experience with any good places, it seems every time I find a place negative feedback comes with it. Help please.
 
Does sound safe. But im afraid I wont have the right tools and my moneys limited but after ordering a built engine and finishing this project i'll have a little more knowledge and I plan building my own in the future.
 
Try Jackson Auto Machine... I haven't heard bad reviews about them. The guy that build the motor over there is excellent to talk to. He is honest and knowledgeable and his work is second to none. This is hard to find in the dsm community and that make them a plus. He had build a motor for dsmtuner's founder "ludachrist" several years ago and that motor is still running to my knowledge.
 
^^Understandable... When i built my motor i had hardly any experience with cars.. Well at least building them btmyself.. Its really not thats hard ands it is a LOT cheaper then ordering a built motor..
Not to mention you know what your getting.. There are a lot of people on hear that can help you including myself if you choose to do a build.. I had nothing but a set of 56peice craftman socketset and open end wrenches as well as torque wrench and i rented my motor stand and lift.. I cant say where to get a prebuilt motor from as ive never ordered one but id think maby hit up Jnztuning and see if they do builds..
 
^^Lol ya it took me a while to save up.. Car sat in my yard for over year before i built it.. When i did i went as far as my money would take me and im very happy with the result.. Oh and i had like a bit over 5k too spend and when i bought the car is was completely stock besides a 3"turbo back, a MBC, and the fans with a ebay evo3 16g on it.. My current mods are on my profile if youd like too see how far it took me.. And i still had a bit at the end that i saved for fluids and a few tanks of gas LOL.. And i nougt suspention and wheels/with tires
