jaycoop1 Member 10 Member For: 12y 4m 3d Gender: Male Location: Chelsea Heights Posted 13/09/12 07:48 AM Share Posted 13/09/12 07:48 AM I have a BA that was making 300+ rwkw and has dropped a piston which now requires a complete bottom end rebuild including block,crank, rods, pistons etc. I need a short motor that will handle the power upto 340 rwkw. Trannie has been done already but need to find a short motor at a reasonable price, any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can handle 800+hp. or go a Fg F6 short for $3000 from Ford and will see a easy 400rwks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you dont assemble it yourself it can be done under 5k... Il be doin mahle pistons and chrome rings, scat rods, arp 12mm studs and atomic oil pump with torque plate honed and acid dipped block and heat treated crank with chamfered oil holes... Assemble it myself will come in under 4k 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
