Default blew my engine, need help to built it.......

Hey guys after installing a p1 procharger on my 97 pushing 10 psi and some other bolt ons my engine broke down, I knew sonner or later the weak internals would gave up but didn't think it was gonna be so fast ( 500 miles after the dyno tune ). I want to built the engine with forged internals or buy a built block. Do any of you knows where I could get a built modular engine. Thanks in advance.

After you find an engine find a new tuner. I wouldn't take a lawnmower to whoever tuned your car that it only lasted 500 mile.

It wasn't the tuner, Justin from vmptunning.com tune my car and as far as I know he one of the top dogs using the SCT software. By the way, what kind of set up do you guys recommend for a daily driver with around 400 at the wheels.

MMR, DSS, foxlake, CHP, or have a local machine shop do it.

I don't suggest the 2 posted above. Sean Hyland is way over priced for sub standard stuff and livernois totaly ****ed up my buddys car and I had to fix it cause they wouldnt.

I am going VMP when i get my motor/ SC ready. I have never heard any complaints, and he knows his stuff (What tuner doesnt). The only thing that worries me is that sometimes MAJOR Companys only want to mess with the "Big Dogs" (700hp and up). But from all the emails he seem's like he is a pretty cool guy.

I plan to use the ford racing heads with the built engine, I heard good things about this heads, some people say they are even better than PI heads. What do you guys think?
