So I have been a member for quite some time and constantly troll the site. My motor finally gave up after 3.5 years of 9psi daily on stock internals.

I am going to rebuild. I have searched and found plenty of information but all of it is from 4 to 8 years ago about purchasing bottom end kits...

What is a reliable and reasonably fast processing/shipping store for bottom end kits. Are the ones mentioned in 2002 threads like Howell still good places? What about Concept Illusions?

I thought it would be nice to have an easy to find thread with the most recent purchases of bottom end kits...

Not Howell. Modern Performance is reputable and where I bought my kit.

Thanks for the tip! So you bought neon internals? Which year?

Are you asking about forged parts? Because it is the same.

I built my 2.4 using MP as a parts vendor.

Theres a brand new howell kit in the bst right now. Not promoting just sayin.

Yeah I know. Thanks. He is selling a 10.5:1 kit. I just thought it would be good to know where to buy NEW stuff if you wanted from a company... A lot of those threads are from 2002! A lot has changed in 10 years...

I am just asking if one of the pre-packaged Kits would work on our 420a or you just used them as a vendor for the universal pieces of the kit....

Just for the archives I spoke to Modern Performance and they are great guys... Going to order my bottom end kit this week. Here is the link they pointed me to for your reference...
