Hey all, I have been struggling with a few too many things in life to do this like I want to.....fast!
I had my block all machined and ready to meet the head and English Racing when it turns out the block I sent them was not machined properly at a local shop that was supposed to be pro. Also one of the cylinders had been sleeved prior to me getting the block. Did not know about any of this until it got up to WA. So glad I didnt let this place down here ruin the same motor twice. Because believe me, when it is broke in and ready to pull, i'm gone. But anyways, Myles and Aaron at English have been nothing but informative and understanding toward my situation and i extensively appreciate it more than they will know. The head is already finished ported, gsc valvletrain and FP 4R cams rollin. The Block will be BR spec Manley TT and Wiseco HD .20 over with a stock crank, 2.3. My old setup had right around 400 hp, I told Aaron 600+ was what I was looking for(drooling). Just like to add, **** I hate the economy atm!
