Well, I just ordered my MMR 800 built block today! It has been a long time in coming a year next month that I have not driven my car.

I am hoping to have her in by end of August

 

nice purchase man. i had my car down for a month when i was getting my blower rebuilt and that was torture, i cant imagine what a year would be like. thats also the same shortblock i intend to get in about 6 months, how much did you end up paying for it if you dont mind me asking? good luck man and hope to see some vids of it running

 

$2999 shipped to my door.

 

did you get any of the options? bore, which pistons did you go with?

I was pricing them out with absolutely everything i wanted and it will be about 400-500 less if i take it to be build by my local guy.

 

It was MMR 800 block with forged crank and 18cc dish pistons for a 9.5 compression with stock heads and mainfold. Yes you could do it a bite cheaper but does your local builder warranty his work for 1 year. Is the motor going to be balanced and blue printed?To me that is worth the extra $500 bucks if you ever run into a problem with a defect.

 

yep, balanced and everything. he said he will warranty it for 2 years so i can't go wrong there
