More like long block builders.... That does balancing, engineering etc.
Out of interest why just select the US for engine biulding if your in SA or is it just for interest.

Of course our diligent resident experts, Mr. David "I bust counterfeiters when I'm not building the fastest street Evo's" Buschur or Mr. Aaron "If you steal my alias I'll steal your real name" O'Neal, will not fail you even if you want to destroy the most ridiculous records.

You can also go with JAM which offers great customer service from the lovely Mrs. Carmela Jackson who can make sure you're taken care of. Like someone above said, building engines is all they do and they do it exceptionally well.

CBRD's Mr. Chad "If you can't eat off the floor of my shop your service is free" Block will undoubtedly impress you as well with his **** retentive work (not to say the other shops aren't OCD).

Just my opinion, but I listed the shops above after years of being around the community and forums, seeing who delivers and who are blithering idiots (most are). They'll build it to whatever spec you like, too.
FYI- carmela is no longer at JAM- so that may make it easier to work with them now LOL!

You can't go wrong with English Racing.

They treated me like one of their own, the engine they built me is awesome. They emailed me back and forth about 200+ emails and countless phone calls to answer all of my questions, or just to calm my nerves before I started the engine for the first time! (Thanks Aaron) lol

I can't say enough good things about them. I highly recommend these guys

Nice, talk crap about someone else who helped you out when you started......maybe it's time to change your new signature about the sarcasm.

Thank you very much Mike. Remember our customer service doesnt end there either, if the unthinkable and unwanted happen we are here to help sort through issues as well. We support both the initial build experience and after build needs of high powered cars.

Chad, I like signature and stands by the way CBRD conduct itself. Maybe you should add this one to your signature.

"CBRD doesn't give any reason for anyone to hate . They create their own little drama out of jealousy"

Love the way my engine build is progressing. Chad and team met all the requirements I outline for them.

I can speak from experience having had my engine built by Jam. Jerry the owner is an outstanding individual who stands by his word and is a pleasure to deal with. Tony, the other gentlemen who works there is top-notch as well. The other person mentioned is no longer there and Jam is better for it. I'm sure their REP and sales will improve because of it. Marco "Godfather" Passante. Nothing else need be said about the man.

For the record, I've had many conversations with Chad about engine builders as well as other Evo-related topics before my build. With him having run Jam engines before I thought he'd be a good candidate for a review. He said plenty but never once said anything derogatory about them. Stay above this Block!

1. Most internals is made in the USA... And I am a fan of Manley TT rods, various pistons and so the price is good.
2. We don't have many evos in SA so used blocks is very scares... And other spares.
3. Most Japanese brand spares are the cheapest in the USA.
4. Shipping cost from the USA is the best if compared ofnthe rest ofnthe world.
5. I rather ship a built engine than ship parts and build it here myself.
6. Note... Best place to get a dry sump for evo is UK, Norris

100000% Agree ive called the shop a million times n talked to Aaron the most but TJ, Luke, Jeff n now on a regular basis Myles n i know ive prolly asked the same question more then once but they have helped me select and piece my build together one part at a time to make sure i reach the goals ive set for my car since day one...Ive yet to talk to a shop that will take as much time as English racing has to go over my build with me and the numerous parts ive bought from them their prices are great. and they even help me find homes for my old parts.
