Hey guys well I went ahead n took my block to the machine shop for a resleeve turns out its crack n worthless. So I'm looking for a new shortblock (since I have everything else) where do you guys recommend I get one. I'm just looking for a stock rebuild one. Found a Shwanke shortblock for $1350 anyone have any experience with those? Thanx in advance

We have used Schwanke engines and or short blocks in our road race cars with excellent results. They are prevalent in the Crane Cams V8 StockCar Series in the GTA class.

Mine will get done for about $2,700 with gaskets and seals.....ready to install. And it'll take 1,000+ RWHP.

Thats cheap.

Where did you go to school to learn how to build engines?

Most of our machinists graduated from the School of Automotive Machinists (SAM). What shop do you work for?

Not them you? You say that you wont find a better short block anywhere but yet you've only been building them for a year and I was wondering where you got your education from in engine building theory and techinique.. not a couple of your workers.
I dont work for anyone ... just have a little bit of knowledge from experience and turning a wrench for a long time.. yes I know you sold engines you had built elsewhere for a while but what makes you an expert and better builder than people with say 20 years more experience.. Has a TSP engine ever won the Engine Masters competition?

Our machinists have been building LSx engines since the early 2000's at other shops as well. We didn't hire kids off the McDonalds assembly line to do our work.

You remind me of someone else....from Oregon that is banned from this forum. Let's see your credentials....Chris.

^ things just got real. Yeah lets see them!

did a salesman just ask to see someone's engine building credentials?

Sales2@Texas-speed

No, a salesman just asked to see an internet troll's credentials. He asked for ours machinists' backgrounds, and I obliged. I am just asking for the same in return.

Krom

when you come into an online forum and make claims like:

You damn well better expect to be asked to prove your statements, and show your credentials.....

I don't know any of the guys in this thread and haven't bought parts from any of you, but IMHO you and your statements are making your employer look bad.

Opinions are like ******** so take it for what its worth.

We can provide the credentials of any and all of our machinists and techs! That is not a problem. We have the right machines and the right people running them to make that statement. I asked him for his and have not seen anything and have received numerous PM's from moderators stating his IP address matches that of a known banned member here who just starts crap and runs his mouth without any machining experience to back it up.
