RE: Finally got my shortblock back
OxfordGT, are you around Clarksville? I know we talked before about it, but I dont know if I've ever seen you riding around town or not. Anyways, seems like what your doing is going real well and I hope everything turns out ok. Where are you gonna go and run the 1/4 mile, Bowling Green or Nashville?

RE: Finally got my shortblock back *update*
I cannot wait to see the results, I have been asking everyone and nobody can seem to tell me why the engines from VT etc are so expensive compared to just buying the rotating assembly.
2200 bucks.... thats a STEAL. What did you do for the oil pump etc though? I have heard yuo need billet gears etc, or is this wrong?
I want a shortblock bad, but by the time you spend 3500 on the block and then 1100 on the fuel tank/pumps, plus more for the fuel line, injectors etc it gets out of hand. But for 2200 that really cuts down on the price!

Well I worked for a few hours after work today and I'm almost done. I'll finish up tomorrow and post up the how-to.

Buitifull... how long did it take you to put the heads on and install the cams and everything... looks like a huge PITA to me.

Its not hard at all. If you like engines as much I do then time was flying by. I have about a total of 3 hours to get the engine where it is now. Today Ill finish and depending on what time my clutch comes in today I might be tossing this thing back in the car today.
