short block
hey all... what would be a good place to get a forged short block from?
I'm thinking about piecing together a good blower ready engine, putting it together myself and then installing it myself rather than really overhauling mine...
i figure if i could get good forged short block and then throw a nice set of PI heads on it with a good cam I can strap on a vortech no problem

RE: short block
okay I'll give them a look see, thanks
does it sound like a decent plan? I figure once I pay off my car I will have surplus money, and will be saving for a bada$$ engine setup in my car. This is about all I wanna do, is have 400+ rwp and have the rear end to hold it, and that's where I'll stop.
well I looked there and I can't seem to find a short block, I found internals and heads... i'd love to get a short block to avoid the machining process (i can have it done and do all the installation but it would be nice to have it professionally done)

RE: short block
exactly... I'd love to build it with my block, but who knows if my block is any good to do that to? and I can rebuild an engine, but i've heard the bottom end is very sensitive to assembly/dissassembly and I don't want to chance it. I will pay a few extra $ to get it ready to rock

RE: short block
i saw a short block for the GT with forged everything for $2500 from VT engines... it says it's good to 500 horsepower
would that engine be a good choice to put with a set of PI heads, stage 1 or 2 cams, and a 10-12 psi vortech supercharger?
