Default How are these shortblocks! 306! private engine builder

hey my car has 230,00 km on it so its getting tired and im gonna pull the motor anyways so i can throw a stall converter in, so i was looking at this 306 shortblock with the forged piston upgrade and then a set of RPM heads of AFR 185s if i can find them cheap enough, to go with my edelbrock rpm intake and holley 670, I think thee shortblocks are a pretty good deal any ideas or thought?

i do plan on DD this car and only really hoping for around 350 horse at the crank or so if its more or less im fine with that

Don't know them so I can't comment. I really like the 200 dollar "Forged rod" upgrade. All rods are forged, lol

For an extra $300, you can get a 347 short block from fordstrokers.com

That's where I'm getting my motor from.

Some of those "upgrade" options on that site you posted are retarded.

1900.00 to my front door and that included a few upgrades from the standard price...if your planning on afr 185's, they'll work good on the 347, that's what's on mine and it met my goals www.fordstrokers.com service is very personable
