kind of not worth it to buy a used block to be honest your just spending extra money. What motor are you planning on going to. 2.4 or 2.0 2.3 never stated that boss. Also they 1300+ you spending on getting anther block you could use to put a better clutch in or in internal parts for the new motor just not really logical to be honest. Just suffer the downtime like all of us have to endure lol

Well I see heads go for 400 and blocks maybe 800 max shipped its 1200 but I save a ton in labor when I have a stripped block and head just let them build it and assemble it lol. Im thinking more along the lines of a 2.0.

you should go 2.3 at the least. you have a 2.0 now lol. Spin the ******** off your turbo choices yes please. i see short blocks assembled go for like 800-1300. Just the bare block 400-500. Head vary in prices pending whats wrong with it.

let Jorge take it down the track you will get your 10 sec pass first run probably with the power level you're at as long as suspension and tires are good.
