If I were you I would go with either a built 207 short block or a built EJ22 both Crawford and Gruppe-S build good motors your best bet is to find a few companies do some research and go with who you feel the most comfortable with or just build it yourself
i recently bought a short block from outfront motorsports out of california. im sure if you called them and told them what you wanted they could build to your satisfaction
Yeah, Vim should've just bought a Cosworth longblock though. I think Outfront covered the motor under warranty or something even though BoostAddict blew it up.
Ya Vim said it was his fault with his motul 300 race oil that shoulda been changed way sooner like after a race. His didn't do a oil analysis but said it was 3,000 miles or something.
ya outfront has built me an my family some pretty reliable an good running motors for our sand rails ha ha ha never thought to ask him for a build on a low horse low compression short block
Well, it just doesn't make sense to me. I prefer someone that works on engines for a living to build my engine. Not as a hobby or sidewalk act for money.
Wonder what "failures" are happening? Probably the rods (known issue)
I remember vaguely Plano said that a couple guys just brought in a ton of aftermarket internals and had them piece their cars together. Funny too, because COBB quoted the guys 2000.00 for the build and after a month, they weren't even 1/2 done. lol
I agree with y'all too.... I'd rather take it to someone that does builds as a full time gig.
That's probably most of the problem. Mix and matching a ton of aftermarket internals. Cobb probably didn't check the clearances and specs of those parts before just slapping it in there.
