Need An Engine Built

I'm planning on having a forged bottom end built over the winter. Anyone have any recommendations? I don't have a huge budget but I have the block already. Just need parts and some one to build it.

a true forged bottom end built right takes a huge budget.. if you have money to rebuild twice build away. if not save your money and no one on the east side that i would recommend to build your motor, especially if your on a budget you won't get much.

Re: Need An Engine Built

What kind of build would you recommend. I have an s trim blower and i'm currently pushing 9lbsbut i want to run 12lbs. and sray a 75 shot once in a while. Do i need to go completely forged?

That price is for a complete short block, not just the assembly.

For a boosted engine I would run our Racer 355ci LT1 Short Block.

Please give me a call or e-mail if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Nick

Re: Need An Engine Built

that's a great price for an assembled and complete shortblock. i forgot all about victory, be sure to check them out. thankfully most of the hack shops are no longer building motors or gone all together. as much as you probably don't want to spend it you could get away without going completely forged but for how long is the question. you could also get away with only a 2 bolt main but a 4 bolt is obviously ideal and beyond.

talk with nick and be very specific with your needs. i'm sure he can set up something really nice for you.
