Best place to buy a short block? Hey all I was just wondering what the best place to pick up an Iorn 370+ short block. I love TSP but Id like to get some other opinions.
I bought mine from Weber Racing. I believe they're still haveing a sale on their CNC'd shortblocks. There are quite a few sponsors that sell quality shortblocks on here for a reasonable price.
I'll throw my name into the hat. All my engines are built by Erik Koenig of HKE, if you do a search on HKE you will find nothing but good. I've worked with him to produce my signature series of engines. Built to take the abuse the way a performance engine should.

We sell LME built motors, built to my companys specs..
- Our prices are equivelant to the "High Volume" vendors
- we ONLY use top shelf parts at rock bottom prices.
- Our turn around time is just under a month, some engine builders take 2-3 months.
- Our motors are built by certified machinests and mechanics

Another vote for Erik@ HKE Racing Engines. I have over 600 passes and no telling how many street miles on our HKE 408. It put down more power than anyone would have expected and lasted longer than the engines my fellow racers are running.
He is currently building us a larger cubed pump gas engine and should get a good bit of attention once it hits the track.
Spend your money wisely

I'll chime in with a vote for us/Cartek.
We build everything to the highest tolerances and can do so since all of our machine work and assembly is done in house.
Give us a call if you have any questions.
Thanks,
