how is a prebuilt block not as strong as when you build it yourself?
they build it with the same parts and its professionals building the motor instead of amatuers.

yep. as i said, i'd rather pay a professional that extra $500 or so to build it right the first time. MMR warranties their blocks too, so if it IS screwed up, they'll replace it.

I guess it seems alot cheaper but when you acutally do the math and add all the little stuff up your about the same.
Oh well, as soon as the CC gets paid off
