We are pretty competitive on pricing on both short-blocks and long-blocks. However, most of the engines we build are forged internal motors. We don't do factory short-blocks or take-out motors. Let us know what you are looking at and I'm sure we can get you setup with something to meet your needs!

Jon,

I sent you and Matt an e-mail back on Oct 8th for quotes on parts for my engine build, is that the best way to reach you as I never heard back.

Sorry for the hijack.

Thanks,
T

If you have a shop do the rebuild it's gonna cost similarly to a new short block because of the shop's overhead costs. So, if you can do most of the work & just have a shop hone the cylinder walls & polish the crank you're good, as long as the main & cam bearing bores are aligned. Not knowing you & based on the info in your post, a new short block seems like the best solution. There are several sponsors on this site that can help you. Links are to the right of the page. You may want to freshen up the heads while you're @ it. Good-luck w/ the project.

SDPC had some LS6 long blocks recently for less than some short blocks. That being said, my 402 came from TSP from their short block sale end of last year.
