Any vendors selling the factory crate engines for a IX? I need less downtime while I send off my blown engine to get built...
I remember seeing some years ago offered by Mitsubishi but not sure if there's still any out there. Must be from the Mitsubishi factory and brand spankin new for a IX. Again I need less downtime for the evo so I can send off the blown motor to get built.

Might do this if I can't find a full factory crate engine in the next month. Someone out there has one sitting in storage somewhere. It would be luck...

What a baller. Going to buy a whole new engine just to send the bad one out to get built. You can probably buy a semi built motor for the price of a brand spanking new one.

 

why not just buy an assembled longblock from buschur etc etc

would be much cheaper in the long run

 

Yeah that was 2007...I'll contact him to see if there's anymore laying around in the shop. I'm sure someone has one...

 

I'd have to send in my block and heads and wait...who knows how long or backed up he is. I'll have to call to see what buschur's schedule looks like.

 

It's just timing. I need to take a cross country trip in the evo next month. So all I would need is just to drop the crate engine in at this point...weekend job.

 

You can't find new longblocks like that anymore. However, you can find new bare shortblocks.
