I am in the middle of collecting all my money to either purchase a built block or have someone around my area build the block for me once the parts are recieved. i have been in contact with advanced racing dynamics they said they would be able to get me a spare block and all the parts and would be able to build the block and ship it out to me. I know a few people on the board have gotten work done there. I would like to know if their work has been quality and if it would be a good idea to have a block made by them? if anyone whos know of their work could please help me out because i do not want to waste 2 grand to buy a block assembled and run into problems or any horry stories that i have heard from places. or if there are any reputable shops that someone can recommend that will build blocks? any suggestions?

ARD is a good shop does good work no horror stories on the board that i know of,

Black Dog Motorsports can build u a block,

people have had some problems with howell....

or i can provide u with the parts and u can have it built by a local machine shop when u drop it off for the machine work they should only charge u 250-400$ to assemble a short block...

im building Collente a Short Block right now out of my spare 2.0, i dont have anymore blocks laying around or i could do the same for you..

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

hey thanks for the reply. That would be great if you were able to supply all the parts also. would you be able to give me your price on the parts for a bottom end rebuild? if you would not like to post it just drop me an email if you could. birdmaneclipse@yahoo.com thanks i appreciate your help.
