Default Where to get shortblock from?

Well i am gonna buy a shortblock, but i don't know where to get it from, i am looking to spend about 3200. I would like to get something bigger than a 347 but if i can't i will settle for a 347. Also what should i look for in a good shortblock (what brand) for pistons, rods, bearings, and ect. Also what companies have you had bad luck with, and what companies have you had good luck with? More info, and posts the better

There are lots of sponsors here that sell forged shortblocks that are of excellent quality.

I got mine from TSP. I called em up and had a nice 20 minute chat about what I was wanting and they got me all set up.

I believe there was something in one of the stickies about purchasing a shortblock as well...That would be something worth looking into.

Make sure it comes with a warranty and is completely balanced and blueprinted.

Give us a call! We have alot of options for short-blocks and can customize yours to suit your needs and goals. I'm in the office until around lunchtime but anytime after that feel free to call Brian at extension 358 and he'll get you a quote.
