has anyone heard anything about them? they have a short block from $2800 that is forged and good for 600 hp. the web site is coasthigh.com i may need a short block soon and just wonder if they an ok company?

They're a great company for the pushrod mills...
I don't think their modular block would be junk.

No first hand experience but I have never heard anything bad about them, but not many mod motor guys have used them. Prices are defineatly good as advertised but I am pretty sure that quote is with an iron block. Alum is more $$. Iron would be between 40lbs to 100lbs more depending who you ask. I have heard both.

For the cost saving I think I might go iron, but I hope to have at least 3 more years before I have to do it.

Newb question here, you just use their shortblock and put your heads and everthing else from yours? sorry just trying to learn

graygt07

yes just swap out the short block and use everything else from your car. can anyone else chime in on chp?

hey Gray do you also plan on upgrading your tranny also if you go with the short block?

IMO that's kind of a weak HP rating for "forged" internals, most are good to minimum 1000. I know you may not push it to that point but when your spending that much it's nice to have the option.

x2 if I were to go forged short block I would want it to handle way over 600+ rwhp. Whats the point of going forged if the stock block can handle over 500rwhp?

EagleStroker

Sounds to me like it's good cast stuff with a bolt upgrade (600 is still stretching it). I don't know though. If you spend 3-3.5 you could have the best so why go cheap when your spending that much money?

I'm sure their hp rating is at the crank.
