I 2nd both statements...

 

man these blocks look so stout! i'm used to looking at open deck honda b series blocks, lol.

 

whats your problem? all he said was thanks for sharing???

 

nice work im thinking about getting the 2.3l stroker kit with ams gt35r turbo kit =)

 

Wow. Nice stuff man !

 

What's your problem?

 

I am glad that you guys like it, I am actually enjoying doing it, but I have always liked this stuff.

I think that I should also mention the shop that built the short block for me, while I am not affiliated with them I really like their work so I thought I would share, it is Stoid Racing..

Not only has Brian done a kick butt job on the lower end, but at $2200 their price is really hard to beat. This included

Scat rods (same as Eagle but $50 cheaper)
Arias pistons w/rings
All bearings
Block off balence shaft oil holes if you do not want to run them
Deck the block
Hone and or bore if needed (boring may be a little more)
Vat block
Paint block/new freeze plugs
Balence rotating assembly
Blueprint
ARP rod bolts

And maybe a couple of other things, I can't remember. Anyway, I just think that their price is more then competative and the work is flawless. Besides that Brian is a really easy, nice guy to talk to.

Just though I would throw in a free plug!

 

Tonights work, it is about ready to go in. Cleaned the engine bay too.....

 

next

 

last for tonight

 

WOW, Looks good. How much stronger are those aftermarket internals compared to the stock ones?? What turbo are you running with that setup?

 

Looks sick!!!

 

real clean.nice work so far

 

Great work man and thanks for sharing the experience with the rest of us !!
Can't wait to see pics of it all back together.....
