Eastside could build you one, Don could build you one.. plenty of people that are local that you could work with. Do you have a core you want rebuilt, or a whole new one?

I'm thinking his core is junk, because he was looking for a pan also. Just a guess

try ebay get the parts put it together that is the cheapest way to go

Block 500
crank forged 800
forged rods 400
pistons forged 400

If your buget is tight that's what I would do. plus there are people selling forged blocks that only have forged pistons so if your looking for a forged crank you should ask how much of the block is forged. A forged block to me means: crank, pistons and rods.

I would call CARTEK 908.317.4496

I would imagine that is they can make a stock block and stock cranked 346ci motor run 8s in a TT car for over two seasons without any problem, they could make you an FI shortblock that will work well for a long time!

Is the block trashed? Do you hae any parts that are salvageable? I have a stock shortblock that might be able to be rebuilt, it's got a groove in the #5, but with a slight overbore it may be o.k. Crank is fine too.... PM me if it's something you might need/be intrested in.

Force Fed High Performance FTMFW!

Kidding, go with Eastside or Dez Racing for the build...but if your just looking for a forged SB to swap in id say TSP or SDPC as both have nice budget shortblocks

I'd call around and see if anyone has a slightly used one laying around.

Matt @ TTP hooked me up with my forged 346.
